A guy jumped into Elvis Presley's swimming pool while touring the late singer's Graceland home — and people online disagree on how the King of Rock 'n Roll would have felt about it.
In a video posted on TikTok by user @nannyxmurphy, a man was shown jumping into a pool in Graceland. The man, who was shown wearing a pair of shorts, shoes, and socks, walked over a barricade with a sign reading: "Restricted Area. Do Not Enter." The video, which was posted on July 7 and recently went viral, has garnered some 14 million views at the time of writing.
"My husband jumped into Elvis pool," @nannyxmurphy wrote in the video.

In another video, the man is shown getting out of the pool and later being escorted by someone wearing a brown-colored uniform.
"You're not allowed in there, my love. You're not allowed to do that," a woman could be heard saying in the video.

Several people on TikTok criticized @nannymurphy and the man in the video for being "disrespectful" to Elvis.
"Whether people think 'Elvis would be laughing' or not it's all down to respect. There's a reason as to why certain areas are roped off," one user wrote.
"Because it's not their property ands he had no business doing it," another user wrote, misspelling "and."
Several people defended the couple, with some saying that Elvis would have "approved" of the man jumping into his pool.
"I think Elvis would have done the same thing lol," one user wrote.
Graceland, a 13.8-acre estate in Memphis, Tennessee, which belonged to Presley, has now been inherited by his late daughter Lisa Marie's three children, a representative for Graceland told People. As of 1993, the estate was already valued at $100 million, per Forbes.
The estate has been turned into a tourist attraction, where visitors can purchase tickets to tour the compound.
@nannyxmurphy and Graceland's management did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside office hours.
