Scandal- AI Deepfake of Trump Sucking Musk’s Feet Sparks Outrage in US Government HQ(Video)
A controversial video showing an artificial intelligence-generated clip of US President Donald Trump sucking Elon Musk’s feet was briefly displayed inside a US government office, leading to an official inquiry, according to a department spokesperson.
The video was played on monitors at the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on Monday, as reported by the New York Times. It appeared to mock Trump’s close ties with Musk, who is currently the wealthiest person in the world. Musk had recently been appointed head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and was given the responsibility of reducing federal staffing and expenditures.
A phrase reading “Long Live the Real King” was placed over the video. This seemed to reference a message Trump had shared on his Truth Social platform, where he celebrated his administration’s decision to cancel New York City’s congestion pricing plan.

A spokesperson for HUD responded to the incident on social media, condemning it as a misuse of taxpayer-funded resources. The department announced plans to investigate the matter and remove those involved.
The video, which played in a continuous loop, was reportedly created using artificial intelligence technology.
Interestingly, the incident took place on the same day that Musk had set a deadline for federal employees to submit emails detailing their work contributions. This deadline had already created uncertainty and anxiety among workers. Several government agencies, including some run by officials loyal to Trump, had told staff to temporarily ignore the request.
Following the deadline, Musk posted on his social media platform, X, informing federal employees that they had another opportunity to justify their roles or risk losing their jobs.
Meanwhile, the Democrat-led House Committee on Financial Services commented on the viral AI video in a post on X, stating, “Not all heroes wear capes.”
