Elon Musk gracing the cover of Time Magazine could spell catastrophe for the DOGE-running tech billionaire.
Time's newest issue 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 response to Musk's cover.
After a long pause, he then sardonically replied: 'Is Time Magazine still in organization? I didn't even know that.'
He included: 'Elon is doing a fantastic job. He's discovering incredible scams and corruption and waste,' the president added, pointing to the work the billionaire has actually done collapsing USAID. 'He's got a personnel that's wonderful. 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 hb9lc.org asked the concern: 'Is Steve Bannon the 2nd most effective man in the world?'
At the time, Bannon was identified 'The Great Manipulator.'
In April 2017, The New york city Times reported that Trump was frustrated by that cover, telling people 'that doesn't simply take place,' a term the president used when speaking about servants eclipsing him.
Bannon was out in August of that year.
