Federal employees at HUD were surprised to find TVs playing an AI-generated video of Donald Trump kissing Elon Musk's feet, with the phrase 'LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.' This bizarre incident occurred at the Robert C. Weaver Federal Building in Washington, DC, where employees had to manually turn off the TVs to stop the loop. The source of the video remains unknown, but similar content has circulated on social media for some time.
The prank comes amid serious concerns regarding staffing cuts at HUD, as leaked documents revealed plans to eliminate 4,000 positions due to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative. HUD spokesperson Kasey Lovett criticized the incident as a waste of taxpayer resources, indicating that appropriate actions would be taken against those involved. The situation highlights the tension within the agency as it grapples with a housing crisis and impending staff reductions.
