I would really love to know who got a big payoff at Time for this months cover.

Such a disgrace.
The rich want to get richer at our expense….but if we boycott their products, they can’t earn a dime off of us….cancel your times subscriptions, don’t buy teslas, etc…..hit them where it hurts. Invest in small businesses instead. Fuck every one of these maga assholes
Get off x, meta, back off Amazon purchases.. Other corporations buying favors... Banks etc
You me and everybody else too
The same idiot who ok’d the George Clooney op ed at the New York Times.
Hitler and Stalin were also TIME “Man of the Year.” Doesn’t mean much.
Well, he's just as evil, except for killing citizens yet... ☠️👹👿
It's owned by a right wing oligarch who contributes a lot of $ to the felon. It's just more propaganda
I suspect it was a response to a threat instead.
The owner is a Trump supporter.
They will start running Traitor of the Month issues starting in 2025.
Not if a Magat!
It’s absolutely ridiculous
TRUMP(tm) has a free pass from the MSM. The NY Times 'sane-washed' his gibberish and normalized him. Plus, they're afraid of him. It's worth recalling that in 2016 CBS Chairman Les Moonves said this about the TRUMP™ candidacy: "It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS."
Main stream media my ass
ELON bought that for Trump!
CEO wants his tax cut....
Merrick Garland.
The United States of Bribery
I am betting it was several members of the Billionaires Club who donated to the cause.
@timemagazine.bsky.social is a joke these days. If they were run by anyone other than someone who cares more about pr than putting the face of Syria or Ukrainian soldiers on their cover -this is what you get - a convicted felon.
Bingo!
The same guy who put Stalin, Hitler and Khoemeni on the cover, obviously. Because Time's Person of the Year is always a hero.
Those outraged don't know time magazine. Past winners have been: Hitler Stalin Baby Boomers Nixon Kissinger Khomeini Gingrich Starr Bozos Giuliani Putin Zuckerberg Musk I think the orange cult leader fits this list.
For negative impact on world
I suspect TIME covers have become like Walk of Fame stars in Hollywood...easily purchased for a price if you want one
Henry Luce is probably spinning in his grave...
Hitler was on Time. Was the article flattering?
And they likely “donated” their bonus to t’s inauguration lol
The owner
My theory is he promised them lower egg prices to be on the cover
The ghost of Henry Ford when TIME had Hitler on the cover?
Me too
Aka Time “MAGA” zine?
Good one!
🤑😊🤑👌
Musky’s treat! 💰💰💰
it's insane how tone deaf they are 💀
My second thought exactly...after the extremely far-too-commonplace initial reaction of Wait....is this real??!!
I don't understand. Are people intentionally pretending that getting put on Time magazine is an endorsement of support? Or do people actually not know what it means to be "influential"? Whether good or bad
Time cover is why everyone questions the integrity of the MEDIA When they pull biased bullshit like putting Ttump as the person of the Year? A fucken convicted felon and RACIST Arse lickers Time magazine Arse wipe
Find the money trail, oh wait it’s all crypto these days.🤫
That would be the editor who pointed out to the Board: " This will permeate every aspect of media and social networks, both left, center, and right." You cannot buy that kind of publicity. Even I am doing it right now. It is not a coronation of esteem but parasocial marketing.
Right?
I think what that cover is is a down payment
Elon may be involved
He helped him get re-elected; so, I wouldn’t doubt it.
They contributed more money to the Red Coats than they did Union Blue!
ME TOO! 🤢
No democrats will ever buy their magazine again. If they didn’t already know they shouldn’t be supporting them already!
Don’t know but the Orange Prick took exactly 3 seconds to have it blow up into a promotional cover. 🤮
I think it is important to understand that being named 'person of the year' is many times not a 'knigthing' of that person. Forex. Putin, Stalin, Khomeini, Khrushchev Et Al
Promises were made.
Good question.. Time's circulation figures probably dropping and have to come up with $$$.. Definitely not relevant after this ploy.
More like afraid and kiss the ring moment than anything else…going to see more of that
The owner.
Perhaps those in charge are part of the Far Reich MAGA movement. Why assume they are not?
The same guys who decided that the criteria was the person who generated the most profit for them, good or bad.
Who owns Time?
Benioff is the billionaire owner of Time and a trump support. People need to get into the habit of checking who owns which sources of information
It's called FEAR. Of what he will do when he assumes total control of #USA
Oh look at all the dirty noses
Nobody. They always make the president elect "Person of the Year." Not that that in any way makes it okay. "That what we've always done" is the absolute worst justification for anything, especially when it's a de facto endorsement of a fascist shitpig.
Just another pro-tump, pro-maga billionaire who bought another media outlet and turned it into a propaganda machine for his amusement.
Person of the year doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. Hitler made the cover at some point.
Me too! He's so despicable. Doesn't deserve any "honour" (real or imaginary) bestowed on him. So wrong. 😡
And how much did elmo have to spend.
You know SOMEONE in the golden shower circle paid for that.....
Good question 🧐
Obeying in advance.
Who have we all spent the past year talking about? Oh that’s right. It was Trump.
Hope they go bankrupt
…and what were they promised in return?
It's just pure fascism now.
I want to piss in his Diet Coke as much as the next guy, but it’s not a “best person of the year” type of thing. Rather: “who they believed had a stronger influence on history and who represented the year the most” VERY unfortunately, I can’t really think of anyone who represented better.
The billionaire class who are going to get their largest tax breaks ever soon.
Well we all know who paid it - Leon Musky
It’s owned by a Rethuglican.
The editorial staff all got free cologne. That’s it. Gave him the cover.
I'll make sure I never buy their magazine. Oh wait, do people still read magazines?
Time traditionally features celebrities of all calibres - good and evil. No one in Europe is pearl clutching at this. Hitler was 1938's man of the year. My gentle advice would be to move on.
This is the Times pay-to-play contribution.
Whoever it is......fuck them
Unfollowed Time
I know right.
Boycott Time Magazine. Let’s boycott all of it.
Hah More likely Time donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
I was going to boycott Time until I realized I never read it anyway.
I was going to cancel my subscription, but I did that the last time they chose him!
Lol, exactly.
Same here
The MAGAt billionaire bro who owns it.
The only way Time could justify that cover is to do a split screen. On one half Trump and the other Hitler. Time Magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times are all dead to me. The Guardian, Pro Publica and The Philadelphia Inquirer are where to go for news.
Time is not on my side. No it’s not 🎶
bsky.app/profile/whoi...
All this knee bending and ass kissing of a self proclaimed dictator is astonishing
It makes one physically ill.
Exactly. Shame on them. They are nothing to me now.
I have a hunch about who paid
It honestly feels the entire world we reside in today is bought out.
…and Elon is the top shopper.
what a dick he is
Doubt it was as simple as that. It's another billionaire surrendering in advance.
Me too
Our new American motto “ Billionaires for Billionaires”” everyone else, suck it up!!!!!!
Payoff or threat? Name me, or else...
Yet another billionaire in the fray of MAGA cult. Hus name Marc Benioff.
4 more years of Donald. I'm not gonna make it.
I'm sure they were promised something!!!
Billionaire Marc Benioff will get his tax cuts!!! Let's flashback to November 20, 2017 Trump printed his own man of the year cover 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏻♂️ ego much Time Magazine disputes President Trump's 'Person of the Year' claims
Hung it around his properties! Ego maniac, narcissist
👍🏼👍🏼
It's never going to be in my house.
New owners .
I suspect threats worked just fine.
Bully!
Marc Benioff went from his knees to full prostration.
My thought exactly!!
I would like to know who still reads time.
Time got bought out. That's the new publisher doing what the old one wouldn't.
Someone was promised something, but got nothing.
More like their bankruptcy calling! Even they are that stupid? Then they don’t deserve to be in business
Kissing the ring. What do we expect from Time? Another legacy MSM outlet that blows.
No doubt Elon made the payment!
So many promises made, so little he “cares” to deliver.
Zuck and Bezos each went to Mar-a-Lago and then paid $1Million each towards Trump's inauguration. Maybe the cover was Time's "$1Million"??
Me too
Someone's worried about retribution
Off topic, but I'm just gonna go ahead and leave this here so more people will see it. gofund.me/df4e399d
To be fair to Time, there are 70M people who will buy anything with Cheeto Jesus on it. Quick cash grab for them
I would say that Eldon has been passing out well over a billion or more dollars for quite a while now to fluff up Trump and continue to keep him placated while he gets his ducks in a row.
No one. They suck ass for free.
They obeyed in advance
Elonia wrote a check to put the Orange Rapist on Time’s Cover. Elonia needs to go home!!
Always follow the money trail.
Had the same question
The owner of Time is a billionaire that donated millions to his re-election campaign. He's a full blooded trumper.
Time’s owner is a big Trump supporter.
They're all willing to sell their souls to line their pockets. They live to obey in advance. Zero integrity. All respect lost. That's just my opinion, and I know we all have them. 💙
Hmmm 🤔 I know they pick good people and bad as long as they dominate the news however, this is very suspicious 🤨
They want to ensure access to the Orange Felon's administration. You know. Profit above principles.
Someone got the opportunity to lick Trump's butthole instead of enduring the tragedy of him saying mean things about them.
Naw, it's perfectly understandable. Person of the year is not for doing anything good or great. It's for being the4 most NEWSWORTHY. Yall can't stop talking about the guy. Now he's won again JUST because his base wanted to p**ss off the good people.
Newsworthy for negative impact... Nothing good!
Right. But that's not new. I mean, look who he's up against: Netanyahu??
2 peas in a pod!! 🫛
It did remind me to cancel our subscription
My opinion is this… @timemagazine.bsky.social didn’t want to get cancelled.
Very reminiscent of the 1938 cover.
They need to sell.. this is what they think will bring up subscriptions.. trying to get the Maga
Just a reminder that person of the year means they made a lot of news - good or bad. Hitler was man of the year in 1938.
so funny watching you all melt down over this when it literally means nothing
Obeying in advance
All the evil tech billionaires gave Time a big chunk of money to get the orange evil pig on the cover
Some pedo idk.
donny's new first lady elonia paid the times off for sure. elonia needs to keep her pappy happy
My thought exactly. Or- How much did Elon pay for the magazine cover??
It's the opposite: Time is bribing Trump to get on his good side.
SAME
He was on the 2016 also, although, we didn't know the destruction he'd do in 4 years. Sickening
Well, we saw plenty in first term re separating kids from parents w 1360 still not united w parents..How he dealt w covid..Kissing up w dictators;Plenty to see;Did we take it in or look away;Clearly magats wanted more inhumane, cruel, mean, lies, sexual abuse, the list goes on & on,There were signs!
If I understand correctly, the fellow who just bought it is a billionaire, and a friend of Trump's. What a coincidence.
This guy: www.nytimes.com/2018/09/17/t...
He looks as sleazy as Trumpkin. 🤑
The dude who owns it is a trumper
Fealty continues . On all levels. It will be profoundly difficult to find the truth
They'll hide, cover up, falsify, not keep records like they did separating kis from parents... 1360 kids still aren't with parents since 2017-18
Yeah, it’s ridiculous
Trump
I think they got it right. I mean it’s not something they reserve for people who have been awesome - it’s who made the biggest waves - and in that - you can’t go past trump.
You can buy anything when your donald and elon.
Does it really matter? It is clear they all work together towards The same goals and are successfully doing so.
I grew up reading this magazine, I will never touch it again. I’m over this kind of ‘journalism.’
Benioff is CEO of Salesforce. "Salesforce, with an expected $38 billion in revenue this year, had nearly quadrupled the number of government contracts it signed over the previous five years, outpacing Google..." www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s...
There will be a lot more payoffs..
sign of The times
Damn, so would I! That came out from left field & was timed to make the news cycle for the Christmas season. Wonder how many issues they will sell?🤦🏼♀️🤬
Everybody wants to grift, including Time. MAGA cult members will buy as a keepsake 😑
Absolutely! 💯 👍🏼👍🏼
Some billionaire…
Bet Leon bought that too.
The fascists will leave them alone when the prosecutions begin. (Maybe)
UK heavy snow...please take care everyone. NHS app use and be prepared next pandemic. H5N1 and COVID new variant. Trump dangerous person,don't fell into MAGA etc ideology. China and Russia's economic situation become crash. And big wave.
Ask elonia. She paid b
The Person of the Year, doesn’t necessarily have to be a decent person. They are chosen by how often they have been in the headlines, news, shaped America, bad in this case, and although he’s a POS, he has changed our America, for the worst.
I hope NO ONE buys it and it rots on the shelves. Just like his inauguration.
I dunno probably the ceo, who owns time these days anyway?
We need to abolish “Person of the Year”, we don’t give Album of the year to bad albums right? If it were “Story of the Year”, I could understand the “US election winning” but “person” gives platform to those that should sit
Story of the Year • US Election (focuses on whole thing instead of one person) • Fall of Assad regime • From the Ashes: Notre Dame • Russo-Ukraine war • etc. Stuff that gets potential readers excited. People don’t do that anymore
When was the last time you bought Time magazine?
Or are they kissing a$$ early to beat the media crowds!
Disgusting, I'm done with Time.
Time is owned by a Rich Republican who backs the Convicted Felon
Thank you, I was wondering who owned it & how that MAGat was being "triumphed."🤑
Marc Benioff owns Time magazine - that's all we need to know -
haha good question
It's always been owned by right wing types. Still is. Right wing owns this country including congress body and soul.
Actually it’s not, it’s owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce. He’s historically been one of the good guys, but since the election he’s kissed Trump’s ass like every other billionaire desperate for government contracts. A huge disappointment.
He’s butt hurt because Harris wouldn’t do an interview with him. I hope his business fails
Was one of the good guys maybe but when you behave the same as the bad guys, the two are indistinguishable.
Truth
ESL?
Me too!!😄
#TheOnePercenters strike again. We'll never tell edition.
Or who imagines they are bowing in the correct way to please #DearLeader.
💙🇺🇸🌊🏳️🌈🙋🏻👍💯💙
Marc Benioff a great Maga supporter of course. variety.com/2024/film/ne...
PS he has a big tower in SF
