Hackers reportedly broadcasted a fake video depicting President Donald Trump kissing Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s feet at a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) meeting Monday morning.
The fake video that appeared to be created by artificial intelligence unexpectedly took over the monitors at the Washington, D.C., headquarters, catching people in the cafeteria completely off-guard. The altered video showed an image of Trump kissing and caressing Musk’s feet alongside the words, “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.” The disturbing footage has been widely circulated online and the identity of the culprit behind the raunchy hoax remains unclear as of Monday morning.

“Another waste of taxpayer dollars and resources,” responded HUD spokeswoman Kasey Lovett in a statement, according to The New York Post. “Appropriate action will be taken for all involved.”
Social media erupted with calls for authorities to track down the hackers and hold them responsible for broadcasting the footage.

The clip appeared two days after the Trump administration forced cuts across the federal government. Musk reportedly ordered federal workers to respond to an email demanding they summarize their accomplishments during the previous work week. Musk noted that failure to comply would constitute a voluntary resignation.
