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

Time's latest concern reveals Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk - where President Donald Trump must 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 response to Musk's cover.

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

He included: 'Elon is doing a terrific task. He's finding significant 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 wonderful. He's wished to do this for a long period of 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 second most effective guy in the world?'

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

In April 2017, The New york city Times reported that Trump was annoyed by that cover, informing people 'that does not just occur,' a term the president utilized when discussing servants overshadowing him.

Bannon was out in August of that year.

How do you find the cover?

Comment now Now, 8 years later, Musk's cover is a lot more provocative.

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 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 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 publication how they're presuming the 'protective crouch' as they wait for DOGE to arrive.

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

'I like @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 kicked off the questioning by asking Trump what the first woman idea of Musk's declaration.

'Oh I think she'll be OK with it, in some way,' 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 'absurd Biden push for Paper Straws, which do not work.'

'BACK TO PLASTIC!' Trump composed.

Musk became an ardent MAGA fan in July, when Trump endured an assassination effort at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

TROUBLESHOOTING? On Friday early morning Elon Musk said that he enjoyed President Donald Trump 'as much as a straight male can like another guy'

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

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

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

Trump appeared to take the tech entrepreneurs' side.

Musk stirred up some more difficulty when he trashed the AI task Stargate, which Trump announced from the White House on January 21, simply one day after inauguration.

The DOGE leader isn't a fan of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, one of the 3 tech leaders associated with the $500 billion job.

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

'It's clear he has actually abused the 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 dislikes among the people in the deal,' the president shrugged.
