Donald Trump and Elon Musk Reunite at Memorial for Charlie Kirk

Former President Donald Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk were seen sitting together at a memorial event held for conservative figure Charlie Kirk on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona. The occasion brought together thousands to honor Kirk, who was fatally shot on September 10 at a university campus in Utah.

The two appeared to engage in cordial conversation during the event, with video footage showing them exchanging a handshake. This interaction was shared on social media by the official White House account on X, the platform owned by Musk.

Musk, who once served as the head of Trump's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) during Trump’s second term, played a significant role in cutting federal jobs considered inefficient. He also donated over $270 million to Trump’s campaign and actively campaigned in critical swing states.

Despite their earlier collaboration, the two experienced a public falling out over Trump’s major tax and spending legislation, which Musk vehemently criticized as "utterly insane and destructive." Following the split, Musk announced plans to form an "America First" political party, though this initiative has yet to gain traction.

Marking their renewed public rapport, Musk posted a photo of the pair at the memorial on his X account, captioning it simply, "For Charlie." This moment suggests a possible reconciliation between the former president and the tech billionaire amid evolving political dynamics.
