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

Time's most current concern 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 alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba when asked if he had a response to Musk's cover.

After a long time out, he then sardonically replied: 'Is Time Magazine still in service? I didn't even understand that.'

He added: 'Elon is doing a fantastic task. He's discovering tremendous fraud 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 very long time.'

Trump had actually touted being called 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 oke.zone asked the question: 'Is Steve Bannon the second most effective man worldwide?'

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

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

Bannon was out in August of that year.

DOGE's early actions - to take a trashing ball to USAID, setiathome.berkeley.edu are chronicled in Time's piece about the billionaire's arrival in Washington.

Government staff members at the Department of Homeland Security informed the publication how they're assuming the 'defensive crouch' as they wait for DOGE to show up.

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

'I like @realdonaldtrump as much as a straight male can love another guy,' 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 first lady idea of Musk's declaration.

'Oh I think she'll be OK with it, somehow,' Trump said.

In another Friday morning post, Musk cheered that Trump was the 'Greatest president ever!'

The billionaire SpaceX, Tesla and X manager backed 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 seldom left Trump's side - even renting a $2,000-a-night home at Mar-a-Lago.

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

Trump appeared to take the tech business owners' side.

Musk stimulated some more difficulty when he trashed the AI job 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, one of the 3 tech leaders included in the $500 billion project.

A Republican near 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 leverage over him and Elon offers no f *** s.'

Trump was then asked about it.

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