A bizarre AI-generated video showing Donald Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet was unexpectedly broadcast on screens at a U.S. government agency, causing confusion and outrage among employees. The clip, which appeared to be a deepfake, played in a loop for several minutes before being taken down.
The incident took place at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), just as federal employees returned to in-office work following a directive from Trump. The source of the video remains unknown, but officials suspect a security breach or an internal prank.
Critics argue that the event highlights growing concerns about AI-generated misinformation and cybersecurity vulnerabilities in government systems. HUD officials have condemned the broadcast, vowing to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Meanwhile, the clip has gone viral online, fueling debates over the influence of AI in political discourse and the relationship between Trump and Musk, who recently took on a government advisory role.
