— TIME (@TIME) December 11, 2025 Contrary to popular belief, the POTY is the person who has influenced that year more than any other, rather than being an accolade for positive achievement. Let’s face it, Hitler took the title, and Donald Trump managed it twice. It’s no Nobel Peace Prize. Time’s cover aped the 1932 photo known as Lunch Atop a Skyscraper, which shows construction workers taking time out from building Rockefeller Center’s RCA building – 30 Rock – but featuring tech billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman. This is so genuinely offensive, recreating a famous photo of workers with the enemies of workers https://t.co/CvFTZhQ30Z pic.twitter.com/OHh3HbSEf9
