Elon Musk enhancing the cover of Time Magazine could spell disaster for the DOGE-running tech billionaire.
Time's newest problem reveals Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk - where President Donald Trump should 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 response to Musk's cover.
After a long time out, he then sardonically replied: 'Is Time Magazine still in organization? I didn't even understand that.'
He included: 'Elon is doing a great task. He's finding tremendous fraud and corruption and waste,' the president added, indicating the work the billionaire has done collapsing USAID. 'He's got a staff that's great. He's wished to do this for a very long time.'
Trump had 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 man on the planet?'
At the time, Bannon was identified 'The Great Manipulator.'
In April 2017, The New York Times reported that Trump was annoyed by that cover, telling people 'that does not simply take place,' a term the president used when talking about servants overshadowing him.
Bannon was out in August of that year.

Now, 8 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 in the world, has actually gotten simply as much attention as Trump considering that the Republican was sworn back in on January 20.
DOGE's early actions - to take a wrecking ball to USAID, are narrated in Time's piece about the billionaire's arrival in Washington.
Government workers at the Department of Homeland Security informed the magazine 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 guy can love another guy,' he [proclaimed](http://hu.feng.ku.angn.i.ub.i?hellip
