Nobody is safe from AI pranks, not even the US President Donald Trump, as a video aired on a government office TV that left viewers stunned.
According to foreign media reports, hackers took over a TV screen and played an AI-generated video in a US government office. The video showed Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet. As soon as the video went viral, it caused an uproar on social media.
The report stated that the AI-generated video was played on Monday in the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) office. The video, titled “Long Live The Real King,” mocked the relationship between Trump and Musk. While it remains unclear who created the video, it certainly shocked Trump’s supporters once it went viral.
The video aired multiple times on the government office’s television and quickly spread online. Social media users expressed outrage and surprise, questioning whether the system had been hacked or if it was an intentional prank.
Following the viral spread of the fake AI video featuring Trump and Musk, a spokesperson for the Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a statement, calling it another example of wasting taxpayers’ money and resources. They assured that action would be taken against those responsible.
It is worth noting that Elon Musk is a key ally of former President Trump and has gained significant influence in federal agencies since Trump took office.
