Hacked AI video of Trump kissing Elon Musk's feet plays at HUD headquarters, giving prescient view of country's mood.

Hackers played an AI video of Trump kissing Elon Musk's feet at HUD headquarters, giving an interesting, but somewhat accurate view of how some Americans see the relationship between the two.

It's a shame how this incident isn't getting as much attention as it should. I would love to see a member of the press be brave enough to ask Trump about it.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

From The HuffPost: 

Staffers at the Department of Housing and Urban Development arrived at work Monday to an AI-rendered video of President Donald Trump aggressively licking Elon Musk’s feet playing nonstop on every television throughout the building. The video played on a loop for around five minutes while employees frantically unplugged the TVs. 

 HUD spokesperson Kasey Lovett confirmed the clip did play at HUD in an email to HuffPost and called it “another waste of taxpayer dollars and resources.” Lovett also pledged that “appropriate action will be taken for all involved.” While HUD removed the video immediately, copies of the clip obtained by independent reporter Marisa Kabas went viral on BlueSky, as did other videos filmed elsewhere in the building. 

The roughly 5-second clip shows Trump rubbing Musk’s feet and sucking on the multibillionaire’s toes while Musk smiles approvingly in the background. 

Some would say that the video is an apt depiction of what's going on with billionaire Elon Musk attempting to exert power over government agencies (with Trump's affirmation) even though no one elected him to do anything. Through his DOGE committee, Musk has wreaked an ill wind of chaos throughout the country via sloppy mass firings of federal workers and eliminating much needed government offices and services. This has led many to question just who is in charge at the White House? Trump or Musk?

The video also reflects a growing feeling of anger across the country - as seen in various town hall meetings - of voters giving their Republican representatives hell for giving no pushback to Musk.

 Particularly when it looks like he will now be targeting Medicaid.
