Elon Musk enhancing 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 need to be positioned - in the Oval Office.

' No,' Trump first responded 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 responded: 'Is Time Magazine still in service? I didn't even know that.'

He included: 'Elon is doing an excellent task. He's finding remarkable scams and corruption and waste,' the president included, annunciogratis.net 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 very long time.'

Trump had actually touted being called 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 effective man on the planet?'

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

In April 2017, The New york city Times reported that Trump was annoyed by that cover, informing individuals 'that does not simply take place,' a term the president used when speaking 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 richest person on the planet, has 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.

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

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

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

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

'Oh I believe she'll be OK with it, 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 don't work.'

'BACK TO PLASTIC!' Trump wrote.

Musk became an ardent MAGA advocate in July, when Trump survived an assassination attempt 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'

TROUBLESHOOTING? On Friday morning Elon Musk said that he enjoyed President Donald Trump 'as much as a straight male can enjoy 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 employer 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 hardly ever left Trump's side - even renting a $2,000-a-night cottage at Mar-a-Lago.

During this time duration, Vivek Ramaswamy - who has actually currently left as the co-leader of DOGE - and in turn Musk, started 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 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, among the three tech leaders associated with the $500 billion job.

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 doesn't have any utilize over him and Elon gives absolutely no f *** s.'

Trump was then inquired about it.

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