A screenshot of Elon Musk from a recent interview on Fox News has gone viral after YouTube's play button appeared to give Musk an apt bit of facial hair.

Call it kismet or divine intervention, but sometimes the fates align to inadvertently create something wonderful.

Or hilarious.


The YouTube video of a recent interview on Fox News with White House advisor and self-described Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk got an amusing bit of karma served when the thumbnail for the video bestowed an interesting addition to Musk's face.

The new facial accessory was quickly noticed and screenshots went viral across pretty much every social media platform.

You can see it for yourself here from just some of those platforms:
