On June 1, 2026, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott posted an AI-generated image on X showing himself in a San Antonio Spurs jersey appearing to dunk a basketball over a player in a New York jersey; many users interpreted the player as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. The synthetic image, which also included an animated depiction of former President Trump laughing, drew substantial engagement (reported as more than 13,000 likes, 2,200 shares and roughly 2,800 comments); Abbott did not name Hochul in the post and his office had not commented, and the Spurs declined to comment.
