AI-Generated Video of Trump Kissing Musk’s Feet Goes Viral, Sparks Outrage and Laughter
In an era where artificial intelligence is blurring the lines between reality and fiction, a bizarre and highly controversial deepfake video has taken the internet by storm.
The footage, which allegedly played on a screen inside the cafeteria of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) building, shows Donald Trump kneeling before Elon Musk, kissing his feet—a scene that is both shocking and surreal.
But, before you ask yourself when on earth did this happen?—it didn’t.
The video is 100% AI-generated. Yet, that hasn’t stopped it from going viral after journalist Rachel Cohen of Vox shared a clip on Musk’s own platform, X (formerly Twitter).
The Viral Moment That Never Happened
The doctored footage shows Trump in a submissive position, planting kisses on Musk’s feet while an ominous caption hovers over the scene:
“LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”
This isn’t the first time artificial intelligence has been used to manipulate political narratives, but the sheer absurdity of this deepfake has made it particularly eye-catching, ridiculous, and controversial.
At the time of writing, it’s still unclear who created the video and how it ended up being played inside a government facility. But with its rapid spread across social media, many are desperate to find out.
Social Media Reacts: “This is both funny and disturbing”
Once the clip hit X, it didn’t take long for the reactions to pour in.
“This is so funny but disgusting as well,” wrote one user.
Another added, “Bro has two left feet.”
A third commented: “That’s not kissing, that’s something else, and I don’t want it to be defined.”
Some speculated that the reality is actually reversed, with one user joking: “Funny, but isn’t it more like the other way around?”

Trump, in turn, rewarded Musk by appointing him head of the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency—an agency many critics argue is nothing more than a bureaucratic power grab.
Since taking the role, Musk has wasted no time in implementing aggressive government cutbacks—leading to major layoffs in the federal workforce and policies that have sparked national controversy.
However, insiders claim Trump wants Musk to push even harder, telling him to “get more aggressive” in his restructuring efforts.
A Deepfake With a Message?
While the AI video is undoubtedly fake, some see it as a symbolic representation of Musk’s growing influence over Trump’s administration.
Despite being unelected, Musk is now in a position of significant power, overseeing one of the most controversial departments in U.S. history.
For many, the deepfake video may not just be a joke—it might be a reflection of the power dynamics at play.
Whether the video was meant as satire, a warning, or just pure internet chaos, one thing is clear: the Trump-Musk alliance is making headlines—and sparking serious debates about AI, governance, and power.
What’s Next?
With investigations ongoing into who created the deepfake and how it ended up playing inside a government building, many questions remain unanswered.
Could this be an elaborate political stunt? A prank by government employees? Or simply the work of internet trolls?
Either way, the video’s virality is a reminder that in today’s political landscape, the lines between fact and fiction are getting thinner every day.
