Musk should be made Time's "Person of the Year"

[Shipwack]

Jimmy Kimmel pointed out the best reason why Musk should get this honor: it would infuriate Trump.

Trump has desired this award for literally decades. He even has a fake Time magazine cover on display in the Mar-a-Lago dining room.

If Musk got the award instead of him, it would definitely end any sort of influence Musk had in the Trump Administration.

1. Absolutely.

2. Trump won it in 2016.

Not decades ago. But long enough.

4. Dagnabbit! You're right! I completely missed that.

I was sure for some reason he was never awarded it. Thank you for the correction!


The rest of the post still holds up, though, about how much it would bother Trump. 🙂

3. They should caption the cover

President Musk.

[JanMichael]

5. No he should be on Sports Illustrated cover.

Then maybe the curse will do him in.

8. Musk's mother was on the cover of the SI swimsuit edition.

6. I think he should be Shithead of the Year.

7. Worst Persons

Some dictators and war criminals have made the list.

Not kind of club a decent person would want to be a member.

9. It's *President* Musk my friend...

10. Person of the year on merit.

If the person of the year is the most influential person of the year rather than the best person, Musk should win thumbs down. He was able to pick the president using only the lint in his change pocket.

11. he did buy the election.

i suspect it's been awhile since anyone did that.

I think it should be Joe Biden.

[dchill]

12. Obviously, he could just buy Time Magazine.

Fait accompli.

[themaguffin]

19. I doubt he could buy Time Warner. twitter was purchased mostly from sketchy foreign money

[Tripper11]

13. Go big man.....

[AdamGG]

14. They should just give it to Putin

He's the one ultimately controlling both of them.

[indigoth]

15. Well ...

I understand the sentiment and reasoning for that.

Personally, I’d say he is more qualified as the person of the rear.

Yes

Rear.

[DronePilot]

16. President Musk would admittedly be humorous to send TFG into a rage.

I would support it for that reason alone.

[Montauk6]

17. Oh, well when you put it THAT way...

I think Time should give it to J.D.

[themaguffin]

18. Given his ugly impact, money spent and influence, yeah. But mostly to piss off Donnie,

20. Luigi Mangione

Drumpf will just take Elon’s award as an extension of his own accomplishments.

Luigi Mangione I think has just started to get a conversation started about a serious flaw in our society that is costing people lives everyday.

I wish there were more Luigis. People who are smart enough and brave to carry that message and get things moving for the better.

21. drumpf's head would explode!
