is coming back in a much more creepy way.
One of his biggest allies in his second term as president has been
Tesla founder and billionaire
Elon Musk, who many have said is the one really pulling the strings.
The theories come from his current regime as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader, where he’s been furloughing and firing hundreds of employees in the government’s IRS, USAID, and other departments. This has even garnered him a
TIME cover that depicts him sitting behind the resolute desk.

But
according to TMZ, it got a lot worse Monday afternoon when an AI-generated video of a grinning Musk staring at Trump sucking on his toes and rubbing on his feet surfaced.
As if the video weren’t disturbing enough, someone felt government employees needed to see it, so they hacked into Washington, D.C.’s U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development building and played the video on all of the televisions with the words “Long Live The King.”
HUD spokesperson Kasey Lovett responded to the video by telling
The Hill it was just “Another waste of taxpayer dollars and resources. Appropriate action will be taken for all involved.”
Ironically, the hack comes just days after
ABC reported that the next government entity that Musk wanted to dangerously streamline would be HUD as he looked to slash about 4,000 jobs specifically held by those working in disaster recovery, rental subsidies, discrimination investigations, and first-time homebuyers.
Musk was recently under fire when he attempted to
cherry-pick federal employees by requesting an itemized list of everything they accomplished last week. He later tweeted that those who didn’t respond by the deadline would be
considered a resignation.
See how social media is reacting to the TVs being hacked with the creepy video below.
