AI Video of Trump Sucking Musk’s Toes Blasted on Government Office TVs

An AI-generated video of President Donald Trump sucking on Elon Musk’s feet, overlaid with the text “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING,” played on TV screens at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) headquarters in Washington, D.C., multiple journalists are reporting on social media.

Journalist Marisa Kabas posted the video on Bluesky, writing, “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.” 

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.

 The Washington Post also obtained a recording of the televisions.

Last week, Trump called himself a king in a social media post. “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED,” Trump wrote on his platform, Truth Social. “LONG LIVE THE KING!”

And the official White House X account, Instagram, and Facebook quoted the post with an accompanying AI-generated image of Trump on a fake Time Magazine cover, wearing a crown with the text “LONG LIVE THE KING.”

The video comes as Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency enacts widespread, cruelly-handled layoffs of civil servants across the federal government. The Trump administration is proposing to cut half of federal workers at HUD, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. The cuts would “target employees who support disaster recovery, rental subsidies, discrimination investigations and first-time homebuyers,” the AP reported, and would affect more than a dozen programs within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, with more than 4,000 positions to be cut as detailed in the documents.

Russell Vought, Trump’s Director of the Office of Management and Budget, said in a speech in 2023 that he wants to traumatize federal workers. “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” he said. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.” 

Elon Musk tweeted on Saturday that all federal employees must report “what they got done last week” or resign. Federal employees received a three-line email telling them to share “approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and cc your manager.” Directors at several agencies, including the FBI, told employees to ignore the email.
