I can only apologize if you’re seeing this during a meal…
A federal building’s TV has broadcast a video that appears to show Donald Trump giving Elon Musk’s feet some unexpected attention.
Yes, despite exposing Musk’s ‘deep fear’, it seems Trump and the Tesla CEO are closer than ever—at least, in some version of reality.
Earlier today (February 24), while the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was focused on its mission to ‘ensure Americans have access to fair, affordable housing, and opportunities to achieve self-sufficiency, thereby strengthening [the] nation,’ those in the cafeteria received an unexpected spectacle.
A television in the HUD cafeteria was mysteriously hijacked—by whom, it’s not yet clear—to broadcast AI-generated footage depicting what appeared to be the US president and Musk in a rather, well, compromising situation.
Vox journalist Rachel Cohen shared a video of the incident on Twitter, capturing a screen hanging from the ceiling displaying an image of Trump and Elon—specifically, Trump appearing to plant a kiss on Musk’s toes.
A caption over the scene read: “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”
It didn’t take long for social media users to jump in with their reactions.
One Twitter user reacted: “This is so funny but disgusting as well.”
Another pointed out: “Bro has two left feet.”
A third commented: “That’s not kissing, that’s something else—and I don’t want it to be defined.”
A fourth questioned: “Funny, but isn’t it usually the other way around?”
Democrats from the US House Committee on Financial Services weighed in: “Not all heroes wear capes.”

It’s unclear who is behind the fake video playing on the TV, but the footage appears to have been shared on Twitter earlier, with another user claiming it was adapted from their image.
While the AI-generated versions of Musk and Trump are engaged in their own bizarre moment, the real-life duo have been busy in a different way—sending an email to all federal employees with a clear demand: respond or be considered as having resigned.
Trump has also directed the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk, to ‘get more aggressive’—a phrase that, coincidentally, could also describe that toe video, wouldn’t you say?
