Metaphorically, yes.
You have the Lord thy God.
Then you have any people or objects that may lead you astray from God. Those things that can lead you away from God are gods. They can be inanimate things like money, or a person like a politician who leads you astray or a fallen angel that you obey.
What God is saying in the First Commandment is that He is first on all things. When you obey Him, you are worshipping Him. If you allow something to come between your obligation to obey and you do that instead, you have placed a god in front of God.
So, if it’s Sabbath or Sunday morning and you should be in church, but you choose to go to work instead, you’ve made your work a god. Sometimes it can’t be helped. But it is when it becomes a habit, or an excuse so you don’t have to obey that you’ve taken your act of worship from God and have placed it on something or somebody else.
I suggest it is a huge mistake to put things like money, celebrity, social position, other persons, etc. in the same category as fallen angels (gods, little "g").
Paul tells us who our enemy is. It's these gods, spirits, daemons, evil beings.
This is why playing with a Ouija board is more dangerous by an infinite order of magnitude than working or playing golf on a Sunday morning instead of going to church.
And BTW, this isn't "metaphorical."
