A recently surfaced AI-generated video featuring former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has triggered a significant uproar, especially after it was displayed on televisions at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) agency. The video depicts Trump humorously licking Musk’s face, a portrayal that some observers have found alarming and satirical. According to reports, HUD officials did not approve the video to be broadcasted and faced backlash regarding the incident. The fake clip generated conversation around the ethics of AI in media and the boundaries of humor, with various Congressional members expressing concerns over misinformation. One staffer at HUD was quoted saying, “We never expected this video to appear here; we are looking into how it happened.” The incident points to larger looming issues regarding the risks of AI-generated content and its potential impact on public perception, particularly in politically sensitive environments. The clip comes ahead of the anticipated presidential campaign period, where any form of media, real or artificially manipulated, can significantly influence voter opinions.
