An AI-generated video showing President Trump kissing Elon Musk's feet was displayed on television screens in the Department of Housing and Urban Development building as an apparent mocking of their relationship.
An artificial intelligence-generated video depicting President Trump rubbing and kissing Elon Musk's feet was played on television screens inside the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) building on Monday. The video included the text 'Long live the real king' overlaid on the computer-generated content, referencing Trump's recent Truth Social post. The Hill obtained a photo showing the screens displaying this content within the federal building. HUD spokesperson Kasey Lovett characterized the incident as 'another waste of taxpayer dollars and resources' and stated that 'appropriate action will be taken for all involved.' The video appears to have been created to mock the relationship between Trump and Musk, who has become one of Trump's strongest allies and was appointed to run the Department of Government Efficiency. The incident occurred amid ongoing political tensions regarding Musk's growing influence over federal agencies and his role in government employee management decisions.
