I’m petty.
I hate this about myself. If I’m being honest, I love watching those videos where people go to pay parking tickets in pennies, or Steph Curry hitting the “Night Night” move after putting a team to bed.
I know this about myself, and I have asked God for forgiveness. He’s working on me.
But when a fascist regime takes office and allows a looney billionaire to take over the presidency, well, the petty just leaps out of me.
Somehow, someway, cyber geniuses figured out a way to make an AI video of President Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet and then hacked the televisions at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and broadcast the moving, vomit-inducing images all over the agency’s headquarters.
Vox journalist Rachel Cohen, was the first to report on the incident when the video of Trump kissing Elon’s feet was blasted over a cafeteria TV with the words: “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”
The New York Post reports that everyone from “Congressional Democrats,” to “lefty pundits” have called the absentee baby daddy billionaire ‘President Musk” because for some reason he’s “…all up in the videos, all on the records, dancin’…”
“‘Not all heroes wear capes,’ Democrats on the House Financial Services Committee cheered on X in response to the video,” the Post reports.
There was no word from anyone at HUD on whether or not someone yelled, “They out here kissing feet in racial chat rooms!” when the employees of the house that Ben Carson once ran saw the disturbing images.
It’s unclear what the hell Musk — who has not been confirmed by Congress and has not been asked to recuse his several business interests that include Tesla and SpaceX — is even doing in the White House, yet and still, there he is. He’s overseeing some fictional department named Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and has basically been taking a flamethrower to the federal government.
As I’ve written previously, in a piece aptly titled, “Elon Musk: Whose Mans Is This?,” the White House claims that Musk doesn’t run the Wizard of Oz program that they created just for him to run, and they don’t know why all the keys on his store-bought lanyard give him access to all of the federal buildings.
But one thing is for sure and two things are for certain: Trump is pissed that images of him kissing Musk’s feet have made it to Rihianna’s internet as we know that Trump’s narcissism doesn’t have him playing second fiddle. The real question is what does Musk have on Trump that allows him to be this close to the button while Trump just takes it?
Meanwhile, back at HUD, no one was happy with the submissive foot-worshiping prank video, or at least they couldn’t say so on the record.
“Another waste of taxpayer dollars and resources,” HUD spokeswoman Kasey Lovett told the Post about the petty foot video prank. “Appropriate action will be taken for all involved.”
