Screens at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development were apparently hacked today, displaying the message: “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING” while an AI video of president Donald Trump sucking the toes of Elon Musk played in the background.
Videos of the hacked screens were posted on Monday morning to social media. It is not known who was behind the hack. This comes after the Trump administration proposed cutting half of federal workers at the nation’s housing agency.
The cuts targeted employees who support disaster recovery, rental subsidies, discrimination investigations and first-time homebuyers, according to two documents obtained by The Associated Press.
More than a dozen programs within the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s portfolio would be affected by the loss of some 4,000 positions detailed in the documents.
On Thursday HUD spokesperson Kasey Lovett said the leaked documents “should not be taken as final” as staffing is evaluated throughout the agency. The documents, which aren’t clearly dated but were circulated this week, include total staffing numbers, expected resignations, as well as a projected “Day 120 Headcount” and reduction percentage of staff at individual HUD offices.
The caption refers to Trump’s self-proclaimed “king” status in a Truth Social post last week. The president boasted about having “saved” New York, and controversially referred to himself as a king.
“Congestion pricing is dead. Manhattan, and all of New York, is saved. Long live the King!” he wrote.
But the “real king” line insinuates that Musk is actually in charge. During a joint interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity earlier this month Trump appeared to jokingly refer to Musk as “President Musk” while speaking about his claims the media is trying to create tension between him and the world’s richest man.
“Actually Elon called me and said ‘You know they’re trying to drive us apart,’ I said absolutely,” Trump said. “They said, we have breaking news Donald Trump has ceded control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will be attending a cabinet meeting tonight at 8 o’clock.”
Musk’s DOGE has led sweeping cuts to key government agencies over the last several weeks, with many opponents claiming the mass firings of federal employees and withholding of congressionally allocated funds is illegal. Several of Musk’s efforts and Trump’s executive orders surrounding DOGE have been blocked by federal judges, including DOGE’s access to sensitive treasury department records.
Trump was reportedly left bewildered by the wild antics of ‘First Buddy’ Elon Musk, according to a new book from renowned author Michael Wolff. In Wolff’s new book ‘All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America’, the author reveals a scene that left Trump shaking his head in disbelief. Musk, wearing a black “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) hat and an untucked T-shirt, bounced around the stage while exposing his stomach.
