An individual believed to be behind an extremely strange government TV hack that went viral on Monday has been found and will likely be fired.

The TVs at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) started suddenly streaming a video of Donald Trump kissing Elon Musk's feet.

'Yesterday an individual was escorted off the property,' a spokesperson for HUD confirmed to DailyMail.com.

The video featured the words 'Long Live the Real King' in front of AI-generated footage of President Trump kissing billionaire 'first buddy' Elon Musk's feet. 

HUD located a person connected with the bizarre incident and confirmed plans to hold that person accountable.  

'Legal ramifications are being explored,' the spokesperson said. 'Additionally, termination or suspension of certain services are being explored as it relates to the department.' 

Employees at the Department of Housing and Urban Development cafeteria on Monday were surprised by a strange video of President Donald Trump on the television screens.   

Footage of the video playing on the cafeteria screens was shared by a HUD source with Vox reporter Rachel Cohen who posted it on social media.

It is unclear how the footage ended up on cafeteria television screens, but a spokesperson for HUD immediately condemned the action as 'another waste of taxpayer dollars and resources.'

The department said Tuesday evening that the video monitors in the room were updated with new information.  

'The monitors at HUD are now showcasing the wins of the Trump administration, including action to lower the cost and expand the supply of affordable housing,' a spokesperson told DailyMail.com, dismissing the incident as one of many 'frivolous stories' pursued by the media. 

Musk is a special adviser to the president and spearheading the Trump administration's DOGE program to make government more efficient. 

While many Musk opponents celebrated the defiant actions, others found it disturbing and evidence that the department needed more cuts.

'Pretty sick, disgusting video,' wrote X user 'MountainMomma' on social media. 'But federal workers don't have time to tell us what they did last week?'  

'The fact that they had the time to sit around and do this and thought it was a good idea is why they need to be restructured,' wrote another user on X. 

 'This is funny, but disgusting as well,' noted X user 'Odin Olak.'

Government workers are increasingly agitated by Musk's efforts to thin their ranks, especially after the billionaire adviser to the president asked employees to inform him of what they had accomplished in the past week.

An email with the subject line 'What did you do last week?' triggered the anger of federal employees after it demanded they reply with 'approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and CC your manager.'

Musk threatened in an X post that failure to comply with the email's instructions would be 'taken as a resignation' from the employee in question. 

The deadline for response was the end of Monday.

Musk's flippant dealings with federal government employees have sparked the anger of entrenched bureaucrats who continue protesting that he is acting as an unelected dictator.

Musk has relished his controversial experience in the federal government, celebrating a gift of a chrome-enhanced chainsaw from Argentinian president Javier Milei at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday.

'I am become meme. Yeah, pretty much. I'm just, I'm living the meme,' he said. 'It's like, there's living the dream and there's living the meme. And that's pretty much what's happening, you know.'

President Trump reemphasized his support for Musk's efforts to root out waste, fraud and abuse.

Speaking in the Oval Office on Monday, Trump said he thought the email sent out to federal workers was 'great'.

'There was a lot of genius in sending it. We're trying to find out if people are working and so we're sending a letter to people, please tell us what you did last week. If people don't respond, it's very possible that there is no such person or they're not working,' Trump said.
