In a bizarre digital mishap, the White House is investigating how a YouTube livestreamer’s channel unexpectedly appeared on its official government website.
The Unexpected White House Visitor
According to Bloomberg reports, the White House has launched an investigation after a YouTube livestreamer identified as @RealMattMoney briefly appeared on the official White House website’s “Live News” section. The incident occurred late Thursday night, with the stream appearing and disappearing over approximately an hour.
Screenshots captured by Bloomberg show a bearded streamer with gaming headphones and a gray t-shirt seated at a typical streaming setup. The stream included a visible chat overlay showing viewers praising his analysis, while the White House’s elegant font displayed promotional text promising “no mid-stream ads” and offering a $10 discount for a service called “StreamYard.”
Streamer’s Response
The content creator himself appeared bewildered by the situation, tweeting: “There’s no way this is real, right? I was just trying to stream with my buddies.” According to self-descriptions, the YouTuber presents himself as “a shepherd for individual investors.”
