On February 25, 2025, hackers infiltrated the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), broadcasting an AI-generated video depicting President Donald Trump kissing Elon Musk's feet. The video, captioned "LONG LIVE THE REAL KING," played on cafeteria screens and was reportedly a response to Trump's recent self-identification as a monarch on social media. This incident coincided with the administration's proposal to reduce HUD's workforce by half and Musk's Department of Government Efficiency demanding weekly productivity reports from federal employees. A HUD spokesperson condemned the hack as a "waste of taxpayer dollars."
