On Monday morning, an unusual and shocking incident took place at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Hackers managed to take control of a television screen inside the agency’s cafeteria and displayed a highly disturbing video. The video, which appeared to be created using artificial intelligence, showed former President Donald Trump caressing and kissing the feet of billionaire Elon Musk.
Many who saw the video were disgusted, calling it one of the most sickening things they had ever seen. The video quickly gained attention when journalist Rachel Cohen from Vox shared it online.
She explained that the video had appeared unexpectedly on the cafeteria’s television screens, leaving employees in shock. The message displayed alongside the video read, “Long Live the Real King.”
This message immediately sparked debate, as critics have increasingly referred to Elon Musk as America’s true leader due to his growing influence and close relationship with Trump.
Over time, Musk’s power in the country’s business and political landscape has expanded, and his connection with Trump has strengthened. Many believe that some individuals or groups are unhappy with this bond and are willing to go to extreme measures to damage their relationship.
The video’s release has led to a wave of criticism from various political figures and the public. Many people believe that it was an attempt to mock both Trump and Musk, portraying them in a humiliating and exaggerated manner.
Others think it was meant as a political statement, highlighting concerns about Musk’s increasing influence over American politics.
Reactions flooded social media, with people expressing a mix of shock, amusement, and outrage. Among them, the Democratic members of the House Financial Services Committee reacted to the video by posting on X (formerly Twitter), “Not all heroes wear capes.”
This response suggests that some Democrats saw the hacking as an act of protest against the perceived closeness between Trump and Musk.
So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the hacking, and authorities have not yet identified the individuals behind the attack. However, the incident has sparked concerns about cybersecurity vulnerabilities within government agencies.
If hackers were able to breach a federal department’s television system, it raises questions about what else they might be capable of accessing.
As investigations continue, the incident remains a major topic of discussion. Some see it as a warning about the risks of AI-generated content being used for misinformation or political attacks.
Others view it as a bold statement against the growing power of billionaires in American politics. Regardless of the intent behind the video, it has certainly stirred controversy and left many wondering what other surprises may come in the future.
