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:

Including on Musk's own X platform.

If we can expect one thing from Heidi Klum, it's that she's ready to make a statement everywhere she goes—even if that statement is that you didn't know she was there at all.

Dubbed "The Queen of Halloween," Klum is uniquely gifted in costume fashion design and dedicated to creating costumes that are as much pieces of art as they are articles of clothing. Her pieces are often meant to disguise, if not entirely transform. A great example of this was the Medusa costume she revealed at her annual Halloween party last November.

Orbán's 16 years in power are over after losing to Péter Magyar of the center-right Tisza party, which is on course for 138 seats, with Orbán's Fidesz on 55. Orbán's loss came mere days after Vance traveled to Budapest and voiced the Trump administration’s support for Orbán ahead of the vote.
