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

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

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

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

He added: 'Elon is doing an excellent task. He's finding tremendous fraud and corruption and waste,' the president added, indicating the work the billionaire has done collapsing USAID. 'He's got a staff that's wonderful. 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 concern: 'Is Steve Bannon the second most effective guy on the planet?'

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

In April 2017, The New York Times reported that Trump was irritated by that cover, telling individuals 'that does not simply happen,' a term the president used when speaking about assistants eclipsing him.

Bannon was out in August of that year.

How do you find the cover?

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

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

Musk, the richest individual on the planet, has actually received simply as much attention as Trump considering that the Republican was sworn back in on January 20.

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

Government staff members at the Department of Homeland Security told the publication how they're assuming the 'defensive crouch' as they wait for DOGE to get here.

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

'I like @realdonaldtrump as much as a straight man 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 very first lady idea of Musk's declaration.

'Oh I believe she'll be OK with it, somehow,' 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 'absurd 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 survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

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

DAMAGE CONTROL? On Friday early morning Elon Musk said that he loved President Donald Trump 'as much as a straight guy can love 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 manager endorsed Trump and then raked millions into the Republican's reelection effort over Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris.

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

During this time duration, Vivek Ramaswamy - who has currently left as the co-leader of DOGE - and valetinowiki.racing 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 entrepreneurs' side.

Musk stimulated some more difficulty when he trashed the AI job 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 three tech leaders associated with the $500 billion task.

A Republican politician near to 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 offers absolutely no f *** s.'

Trump was then inquired about it.

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