Elon Musk gracing the cover of Time Magazine could spell disaster for the DOGE-running tech billionaire.

Time's newest issue shows Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk - where President Donald Trump need to be placed - in the Oval Office.

' No,' Trump first reacted in the Oval Office Friday alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba when asked if he had a response to Musk's cover.

After a long pause, he then sarcastically responded: 'Is Time Magazine still in company? I didn't even understand that.'

He included: 'Elon is doing a terrific task. He's finding remarkable scams and corruption and waste,' the president added, pointing to the work the billionaire has done collapsing USAID. 'He's got a staff that's great. He's wished to do this for a long time.'

Trump had promoted being called Time's Person of the Year himself last year.

In February of 2017, Time Magazine put White House Chief Strategist on the cover and asked the concern: 'Is Steve Bannon the 2nd most powerful male worldwide?'

At the time, Bannon was labeled 'The Great Manipulator.'

In April 2017, The New York Times reported that Trump was irritated by that cover, informing individuals 'that does not just occur,' a term the president used when speaking about underlings overshadowing him.

Bannon was out in August of that year.

How do you discover the cover?

Comment now Now, 8 years later, Musk's cover is much more intriguing.

A press reporter questioning Trump in the Oval Office Friday even explained that Musk was sitting behind 'your Resolute Desk.'

Musk, the wealthiest person on the world, has received just as much attention as Trump because the Republican was sworn back in on January 20.

DOGE's early actions - to take a trashing ball to USAID, are chronicled in Time's piece about the billionaire's arrival in Washington.

Government staff members at the Department of Homeland Security told the magazine how they're presuming the 'defensive crouch' as they wait for DOGE to show up.

In the consequences of Time's cover release, Musk was making his own moves.

'I enjoy @realdonaldtrump as much as a straight male can love another man,' he proclaimed on X, the platform he obtained, on Friday early morning.

During the Friday afternoon interview with Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Fox News' Peter Doocy started the questioning by asking Trump what the very first girl thought of Musk's declaration.

'Oh I believe she'll be OK with it, somehow,' Trump said.

In another Friday early morning post, Musk cheered that Trump was the 'Greatest president ever!'

Musk highlighted a post where Trump said he was going to end the 'ludicrous Biden push for Paper Straws, which do not work.'

'BACK TO PLASTIC!' Trump wrote.

Musk became an ardent MAGA fan in July, when Trump made it through an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

A February 2017 Time cover supposedly frustrated Trump when it showcased then Chief White House Strategist Steve Bannon, identifying him 'The Great Manipulator'

DAMAGE CONTROL? On Friday morning Elon Musk said that he enjoyed President Donald Trump 'as much as a straight male can love another male'

Minutes before he labeled Trump the 'Greatest President ever!' as the Republican is poised to sign an executive order barring paper straws

The billionaire SpaceX, asteroidsathome.net Tesla and X employer endorsed Trump and then raked millions into the Republican's reelection effort over Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris.

In the run-up to the inauguration Musk rarely left Trump's side - even leasing a $2,000-a-night cottage at Mar-a-Lago.

During this time period, Vivek Ramaswamy - who has already left as the co-leader of DOGE - and in turn Musk, began an online war with Bannon and other MAGA traditionalists over making use of H1-B visas.

Trump appeared to take the tech business owners' side.

Musk stimulated some more trouble when he trashed the AI project Stargate, which Trump announced from the White House on January 21, just one day after inauguration.

The DOGE leader isn't a fan of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, among the 3 tech leaders involved in the $500 billion task.

A Republican politician near the White House told Politico that some Trump staff were 'furious' at Musk for torching Stargate online.

'It's clear he has abused the proximity to the president,' the Trump ally said. 'The problem is the president does not have any utilize over him and Elon gives no f *** s.'

Trump was then inquired about it.

'He hates among the people in the deal,' the president shrugged.
