In an unusual viral moment, a video allegedly showing Donald Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet was broadcast on a TV inside a federal building. “I can only apologize if you see this while eating…”
On February 24, employees at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) were surprised when their cafeteria TV unexpectedly displayed an AI-generated clip featuring Trump and Musk. The video, shared by journalist Rachel Cohen, showed Trump smooching Musk’s toes with the caption: “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”
Social media reactions poured in, with users calling it “funny but disgusting” and pointing out odd details like “Bro has two left feet.” One questioned, “Isn’t it more like the other way around?”
The source of the manipulated video remains unknown, though it appears to have circulated online before. One user even claimed it was adapted from their image.
Meanwhile, in real life, Trump and Musk have been making headlines for another reason—sending an email to federal employees demanding a response or facing resignation. Trump also urged Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), to “get more aggressive”—a fitting description for the bizarre AI clip.
