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

Time's most current issue shows 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 sarcastically replied: 'Is Time Magazine still in business? I didn't even know that.'

He included: 'Elon is doing a great task. He's discovering tremendous scams and corruption and waste,' the president added, pointing to the work the billionaire has actually done collapsing USAID. 'He's got a staff that's fantastic. He's wanted to do this for a long time.'

Trump had actually promoted 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 asked the concern: 'Is Steve Bannon the 2nd most effective guy worldwide?'

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

In April 2017, The New York Times reported that Trump was frustrated by that cover, informing people 'that does not simply occur,' a term the president used when talking about assistants overshadowing him.

Bannon was out in August of that year.

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

'It's clear he has abused the distance to the president,' the Trump ally said. 'The problem is the president does not have any utilize over him and Elon gives zero f *** s.'

Trump was then asked about it.

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