Donald Trump and Elon Musk were seen together at the Charlie Kirk memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, sharing a handshake, smiling, and exchanging words in public for the first time since their feud erupted earlier this year.

Thousands gathered at State Farm Stadium to honor the conservative activist, and the moment between Trump and Musk drew immediate attention.

Their falling out followed Musk’s resignation from the Department of Government Efficiency in May after he sharply criticized Trump’s landmark legislative push, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill”.

Public spats ensued, including harsh online exchanges and Musk’s suggestion of forming a new political party.

At the memorial, Musk posted a photograph of the two together with the caption “For Charlie”.

The gesture has led to speculation about a thaw in their relationship, though neither has confirmed any reconciliation.

Observers note that while the handshake is symbolic, it remains unclear whether it marks a lasting truce.

Some believe it could be a moment of mutual respect over shared conservative values, while others view it as a calculated move ahead of looming political battles.

Their split was rooted in policy disagreements over tax, spending, and governance.

The sudden public appearance together now raises new questions about power, loyalty, and what comes next.
