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

Time's latest issue reveals Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk - where President Donald Trump need to be positioned - 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 reaction to Musk's cover.

After a long time out, he then sardonically replied: 'Is Time Magazine still in company? I didn't even know that.'

He included: '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 staff that's great. He's wanted to do this for a long time.'

Trump had actually promoted 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 worldwide?'

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 individuals 'that doesn't just occur,' a term the president used when discussing underlings eclipsing him.

Bannon was out in August of that year.

How do you discover the cover?

Comment now Now, eight 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 earth, has actually gotten simply as much attention as Trump given that 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.

Civil servant at the Department of Homeland Security told the magazine how they're assuming the 'protective crouch' as they wait for DOGE to show up.

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

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

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

'Oh I believe she'll be OK with it, ura.cc in some way,' Trump said.

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

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

'BACK TO PLASTIC!' Trump wrote.

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

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

In the run-up to the inauguration Musk hardly ever left Trump's side - even renting a $2,000-a-night home at Mar-a-Lago.

During this time period, Vivek Ramaswamy - who has currently 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 stirred up some more problem when he trashed the AI job Stargate, which Trump revealed from the White House on January 21, simply 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 personnel were 'furious' at Musk for torching Stargate online.

'It's clear he has abused the proximity to the president,' the Trump ally said. 'The issue is the president doesn't have any utilize over him and Elon provides zero f *** s.'

Trump was then asked about it.

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