The incident involved a display of AI-generated video across multiple television sets at the HUD headquarters. The manipulative content showed a fictional depiction of President Trump and Elon Musk. While there was no data breach or direct financial impact, the prank required intervention to manually disable the displays and could potentially damage the reputation of the HUD. This comes amid internal challenges with the proposed elimination of a significant number of HUD employees, adding to the unrest and uncertainty within the department.
