There are surely some benefits to AI, but after February 24, 2025, we may never really know because President Donald Trump might get rid of it altogether.
There might be an executive order on the way.
And that’s because someone hacked into the system at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and put on monitor screens an AI video — it wasn’t real folks — of Trump down on his hands and knees slurping away on Musk’s toes and feet. It was captioned “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”
We won’t link the video because it was AI, and because it was graphic, but it can be found on Musk’s X platform pretty easily.

Rolling Stone noted that in one clip that circulated an employee at the agency can be heard saying, “Someone’s gonna get fired.” The site also noted that Marisa Kabas, an independent journalist, reported that the video played on a loop for about five minutes. Kabas reported that employees at the agency could not figure out how to get it off the screens without manually unplugging monitors.
HUD spokesperson Kasey Lovett told The Hill that the incident was “another waste of taxpayer dollars and resources” and that “appropriate action will be taken for all involved.”
This comes as Musk and DOGE continue to pressure and, in some cases, fire federal workers.
Trump has yet to comment on the stunt.
