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 must be positioned - in the Oval Office.

' No,' Trump initially 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 sarcastically replied: 'Is Time Magazine still in company? I didn't even know that.'

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

Trump had actually touted being named Time's Person of the Year himself in 2015.

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

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

In April 2017, The New york city Times reported that Trump was irritated by that cover, informing people 'that doesn't simply take place,' a term the president utilized when talking about assistants 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 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 planet, has actually 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 employees at the Department of Homeland Security informed 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 man can love another man,' 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 kicked off 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 'ludicrous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don't work.'

'BACK TO PLASTIC!' Trump composed.

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

A February 2017 Time cover supposedly annoyed Trump when it showcased then Chief White House Strategist Steve Bannon, identifying 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 enjoy another man'

Minutes before he labeled 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 backed 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 cottage at Mar-a-Lago.

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

Trump appeared to take the tech entrepreneurs' side.

Musk stirred up some more trouble when he trashed the AI job 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, one of the 3 tech leaders included in 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 proximity to the president,' the Trump ally said. 'The problem is the president does not have any utilize over him and championsleage.review Elon gives zero f *** s.'

Trump was then inquired about it.

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