Donald Trump and Elon Musk have grown close over the past year. The latter supported
the former in his bid for re-election, both financially and via his social media platform,
X, while the former repaid the latter for his services by appointing him as head of
the newly-formed (and highly questionable) Department of Government Efficiency.
Theirs is a tale of fortitude, of sacrifice, of compassion and courage and… love?
Diners in the cafeteria of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
building might have been forgiven for thinking so when they were treated to an
impromptu video broadcasting the moment Donald Trump kissed Elon Musk’s feet.
When did this moment happen? I hear you ask. How did I miss that? Well,
the truth is you didn’t; it never happened.
The aforementioned video – though undeniably shocking – is AI generated,
but that hasn’t stopped it gaining viral attention online after Vox journalist Rachel Cohen shared a clip of the incident to X.
A caption overlaid on the pair reads: “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”
As stated, the video was apparently left to play in the HUD cafeteria, giving any number of government employees
the chance to see their Commander in Chief in a somewhat compromising position with the man many
have criticized for boisterously forcing his way – unelected, we may add – into Trump’s administration.
At the time of writing, the person responsible for uploading the AI video isn’t known,
but you can be sure there’ll be people vying to get to the bottom of it.
“This is so funny but disgusting as well,” one X user tweeted.
Another wrote: “Bro has two left feet.”
