Elon Musk gracing the cover of Time Magazine might 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 organization? I didn't even know that.'

He added: 'Elon is doing a terrific task. He's discovering significant fraud and corruption and waste,' the president included, pointing to the work the billionaire has done collapsing USAID. 'He's got a personnel that's wonderful. He's wanted to do this for a long period of time.'

Trump had actually touted being named Time's Person of the Year himself last year.

In February of 2017, Time Magazine put White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon on the cover and asked the question: 'Is Steve Bannon the 2nd most powerful guy in the world?'

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

In April 2017, The New York Times reported that Trump was frustrated by that cover, telling people 'that does not simply occur,' a term the president used when talking about assistants overshadowing him.

Bannon was out in August of that year.

How do you find the cover?

Comment now Now, eight years later on, Musk's cover is even more provocative.

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

Musk, the richest person on the world, has actually gotten just as much attention as Trump given that the Republican was sworn back in on January 20.

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

Government employees at the Department of Homeland Security informed the magazine how they're assuming the 'protective crouch' as they wait for videochatforum.ro DOGE to arrive.

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

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

During the Friday afternoon press conference with Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Fox News' Peter Doocy started the questioning by asking Trump what the first girl idea of Musk's pronouncement.

'Oh I think 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 'ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don't work.'

'BACK TO PLASTIC!' Trump wrote.

Musk ended up being an ardent MAGA supporter in July, when Trump endured an assassination effort at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

A February 2017 Time cover apparently irritated Trump when it showcased then Chief White House Strategist Steve Bannon, labeling him 'The Great Manipulator'

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

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

The billionaire SpaceX, Tesla and X boss endorsed Trump and after that raked millions into the Republican's reelection effort over Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris.

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

During this time duration, Vivek Ramaswamy - who has currently exited as the co-leader of DOGE - and wiki-tb-service.com in turn Musk, setiathome.berkeley.edu began an online war with Bannon and other MAGA traditionalists over the use of H1-B visas.

Trump appeared to take the tech entrepreneurs' side.

Musk stirred up some more problem when he trashed the AI task Stargate, which Trump revealed 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 included in the $500 billion task.

A Republican near to the White House informed 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 doesn't have any take advantage of over him and Elon offers no f *** s.'

Trump was then asked about it.

'He dislikes one of the individuals in the deal,' the president shrugged.
