Washington, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was targeted in a cybersecurity breach on Monday, with hackers using department screens to display an AI-generated video featuring President Donald Trump and tech entrepreneur-turned-Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk. The fake footage depicts Trump in a decidedly subservient act toward Musk, accompanied by the caption “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”

The deepfake, showing Trump kissing Musk’s feet, immediately raised alarms over government cybersecurity vulnerabilities. HUD officials confirmed they are investigating the breach and reviewing security protocols to determine how unauthorized access was gained and whether those responsible can be identified.

As Mediaite reports:

Reporters tweeted photos and videos of the strange video on Musk’s social media platform X. “Someone apparently hacked the televisions at HUD today,” wrote The Washington Post’s White House economics reporter Jeff Stein.

Rachel Leah Siegel, who covers housing issues for the Post, also posted images of the HUD television screens that she said were sent to her “[f]rom multiple people inside HUD headquarters in DC.” In a follow up tweet, she noted that it was “playing on tvs across the building.”

A HUD spokesperson told Siegel, “Another waste of taxpayer dollars and resources. Appropriate action will be taken for all involved.”

Last week, the president posted on Truth Social “LONG LIVE THE KING!” in a post taking credit for ending congestion traffic pricing in Manhattan, a quote that was controversially tweeted by the official White House account along with an image of a magazine cover with Trump wearing a golden crown. Employees all across the federal workforce have been voicing their anger as Musk’s DOGE team has pushed for widespread layoffs. One of the latest points of friction was an email Musk directed to be sent out to all federal employees from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), demanding that they reply by 11:59 pm ET Monday evening with five bullet points describing what they accomplished last week.

Despite apparent discontent among federal employees in D.C., a new Harvard–Harris survey shows President Trump’s approval is on the rise. The February 2025 poll, conducted online among 2,443 registered voters from Feb. 19–20, puts Trump’s overall approval rating at 52%—a noticeable improvement from earlier readings this month.

    Not sure why you referred to it as Filthy, his feet looked clean to me. It is a filthy minded thing for Trump to think of himself as King. But he’s cluttered his whole life with Filth hasn’t he. ( Epstein associated, etc. )
