Elon Musk sitting at the president’s place behind the desk in the oval room.
It is the cover of the next issue of Time magazine.
– Does Time still keep up? I didn’t even know, Trump replies.
Elon Musk has been given an advanced position in President Donald Trump’s new administration. The Teslamionaire and his unit Dogge are tasked with sharply cutting US public spending.
On Monday, for example, it was announced that the aid authority USAID has been closed down.
Critics believe that Musk has gained too much power. Democrat Chuck Schumer has called Dogge a “non-elected shadow government”.
Musk at the President’s Place
Tim Walz, who was Kamala Harris Vice Presidential candidate, has gone the step further.
“Elon Musk is a lousy president,” he wrote in a surprised Post on X. Last Monday.
Now Time Magazine is showing up The cover to his new number – and it’s on the same theme. The illustration represents Elon Musk behind “The Resolution Desk” in the oval room. A place belonging to the US president.
The cover article is entitled “from inside Elon Musk’s war against Washington” and is about his attempt to carry out massive reforms during Donald Trump’s first time in power.
Trump’s cocky response
At a press conference together with Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Trump was asked questions about the magazine’s cover.
– Does Time still keep up? I didn’t even know that, he said according to Sky News.
He went on to pay tribute to his gunman.
– Elon does a fantastic job. He finds extensive fraud, corruption and waste.
In December, Donald Trump was named this year’s person by Time for the second time.
“Trump’s political rebirth is unparalleled in American history,” the magazine wrote in its motivation.
