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

Time's most current issue reveals Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk - where President Donald Trump should be placed - in the Oval Office.

' No,' Trump first reacted in the Oval Office Friday together with 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 business? I didn't even know that.'

He added: 'Elon is doing an excellent job. 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 staff that's fantastic. He's desired 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 powerful male on the planet?'

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, telling people 'that doesn't just occur,' a term the president used when speaking about underlings eclipsing him.

Bannon was out in August of that year.

How do you find the cover?

Comment now Now, menwiki.men eight years later, Musk's cover is even more intriguing.

A 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 actually received simply as much attention as Trump because the Republican was sworn back in on January 20.

DOGE's early actions - to take a wrecking 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 arrive.

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

'I enjoy @realdonaldtrump as much as a straight guy 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 began the questioning by asking Trump what the first lady thought of Musk's declaration.

'Oh I believe 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 'ludicrous Biden push for Paper Straws, which do not 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.

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 manager backed Trump and after that plowed millions into the Republican's reelection effort over Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris.

In the run-up to the inauguration Musk seldom left Trump's side - even leasing a $2,000-a-night cottage 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, started an online war with Bannon and other MAGA traditionalists over using H1-B visas.

Trump appeared to take the tech business owners' side.

Musk stimulated some more difficulty when he trashed the AI project Stargate, which Trump revealed 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 3 tech leaders associated with the $500 billion task.

A close 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 distance to the president,' the Trump ally said. 'The issue is the president doesn't have any take advantage of over him and Elon provides absolutely no f *** s.'

Trump was then inquired about it.

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