From left to right: Dana White, U.S. President Trump, Elon Musk, and House Speaker Johnson conversing at Charlie Kirk's memorial service held in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday.
On the 21st local time, Trump and Musk jointly attended a memorial event for Charlie Kirk. During Defense Secretary Hegseth's speech, Musk sat next to Trump, and the two engaged in brief exchanges and handshakes, occasionally pausing to listen to the speech. Trump leaned forward, speaking to Musk with both men making gestures, while the tech billionaire frequently nodded.
After Hegseth's speech concluded, Musk left his seat, and Trump gave him a friendly pat.
This reunion between Trump and his former "close friend" in the presidential box at Charlie Kirk's memorial service appears to be their first public appearance together since Trump honored Musk in May when he concluded his public service role in the Department of Government Efficiency.
Subsequently, due to disagreements over presidential policy agenda bills and Musk's threat to form a new political party, the two engaged in high-profile disputes on social media.
Sources revealed that after the public dispute between Musk and Trump, Kirk played a mediating role between them. He maintained contact with Musk, frequently communicating through text messages, such as informing Musk that his negative comments about policy bills could potentially harm Trump's overall agenda. The source also indicated that Musk was receptive to Kirk and his feedback.
