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:

Anyone who lives in an area where snow might be on the ground by Halloween knows a thing or two about ice. Ideally, those things will keep them from falling down every time they leave their house between November and March.

Apparently, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents weren't briefed on ice before MAGA Republican President Donald Trump dispatched an estimated 2,000 of them to Minnesota in the winter.

In an awkward moment that felt less like a harmless, maybe Freudian slip of some sort and more like an unfiltered tell on himself, ESPN star Stephen A. Smith found himself in hot water after confusing Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk with radical right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk during a live broadcast of First Take.

The gaffe occurred Tuesday morning as Smith recapped the Texans’ dominant 30–6 playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. While highlighting what was meant to be a key performance by Kirk, Smith instead invoked a name far outside the football universe.
