People at a federal building were doing a double take recently when they saw a video that appeared to be President Donald Trump kissing Elon Musk’s Feet. This comes on the heels of rumors that their relationship is not what it used to be.
The video was played in the cafeteria of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on February 24. The rest of the offices in the federal building were hard at work but anyone grabbing a bite to eat would have been treated to this surprise viewing.
At this point, nobody is sure who took the liberty to share this AI video material, but it was shocking to those who saw it. It was also shared further on Musk’s social media platform, X. That ensured that millions would have the chance to view someone’s AI handy work.
The incident was shared by Vox journalist Rachel Cohen, which showed the TV in the cafeteria streaming a video of what appeared to be Donald Trump giving Elon Musk’s feet a smooch. Over the video was the caption: “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING”

It didn’t take long before people were flocking to the post to leave their comments, both good and bad. Some pointed out their opinion that it was strange to see (to say the least), while others pointed out that Elon Musk has two left feet in the video.
The person behind the shared video has not been tracked down yet but it does seem that it was posted on Twitter previously. Another user showed the image that was used to create the video and claimed that it was their idea first.

In either case, looking closer at the image and video shows that it was created using some form of AI. Sorry to all of those who hoped it was true, but alas, it was a fake.
