President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk sat together for a time and shared a handshake at Charlie Kirk’s tribute service.
The moment between Trump and Musk marked the first public reunion between the men since Musk left the administration and levied attacks on Trump, sparking a public strain in their relationship. Sunday’s moments hint at at least a degree of reconciliation.
The men were seen talking as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth took the stage with his tribute to Kirk. At the end of Hegesth’s speech, they shook hands before Musk left the seat.
