Trump and Musk Reconcile at Charlie Kirk’s Emotional Memorial Service
Former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk publicly mended their strained relationship on Sunday, sharing a handshake and conversation at the memorial service for assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The high-profile reunion in Glendale, Arizona, marks a significant turning point after months of a bitter public feud.
Tens of thousands gathered at State Farm Stadium to honor Kirk, who was tragically assassinated on September 10th. Before addressing the crowd, Trump was approached by Musk, who took a seat beside him. The two were seen shaking hands and engaging in discussion, a stark contrast to their recent acrimonious exchanges.
Musk later posted a photo of their interaction on X, captioned simply “For Charlie,” signifying the end of a dispute that began in June over Trump’s proposed tax and spending policies. During their feud, Musk had criticized Trump’s economic plans, suggested his impeachment, and even threatened to pull SpaceX rockets from federal service, while Trump had retaliated with threats to investigate Musk’s companies.
The reconciliation fulfills a prediction made by Kirk himself over the summer, who believed the two influential figures were “much stronger together.” The memorial service, which also featured a message of forgiveness from Kirk’s widow, Erika, provided a poignant backdrop for this unexpected political détente.
