Eko Hot Blog reports that a fake AI-generated video showing U.S. President Donald Trump sucking Elon Musk’s toes was briefly displayed inside the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), prompting an internal investigation.

The footage featured the inscription “Long Live the Real King,” a phrase Trump recently used on his Truth Social platform after his administration blocked New York City’s congestion pricing plan.
Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, was recently appointed head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he has been tasked with cutting federal staffing and spending. His directive requiring federal employees to submit weekly reports on their work achievements has already caused unrest among government workers.
The HUD spokesperson condemned the video’s display as a misuse of taxpayer resources and announced an internal probe to identify and potentially fire those responsible.
“The department is taking this matter seriously and will ensure appropriate actions are taken,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
The video incident coincided with the deadline Musk had set for federal employees to justify their work via email. However, several agencies, including those led by Trump loyalists, advised staff to ignore Musk’s directive, creating further confusion.
Musk later posted on X that workers would get “another chance” to comply or risk termination.

The investigation into the video’s origin and those responsible for displaying it is ongoing.
