Handshake, chatting, sitting side by side! Musk and Trump appear together for the first time since their fallout.

```

Three months after a public falling-out, Musk and Trump appeared together for the first time at the Charlie Kirk memorial event.

According to media reports, at Sunday’s memorial for Kirk, who was killed in a shooting, Musk and Trump were photographed sitting together and chatting happily. This scene took place just as US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was about to take the stage to speak. Television footage captured Musk approaching Trump and sitting in the empty seat next to him. The two then shook hands and began an enthusiastic conversation.

Their relationship had hit rock bottom in June this year.

At that time, Musk "in a fit of anger" withdrew from government-related positions and launched sharp criticism of Trump on social media. In a series of posts, Musk hinted that Trump’s involvement in the Epstein scandal might be deeper than the public knows. He wrote: “It’s time to drop the real bombshell.”

In the face of Musk’s public challenge, Trump also fired back without backing down. He likewise threatened on social media that he might use state power to “crush” Musk’s business interests. Trump wrote at the time: “I’ve always been surprised Biden hasn’t done so!”

This public dispute once led outsiders to believe that the political alliance between the two had been irreparably broken. But at Sunday’s Kirk memorial event, the two achieved reconciliation.

Afterwards, Musk posted a photo with Trump on social media, simply captioned “For Charlie,” implying that this thaw was to honor their mutual friend Kirk.

While alive, Kirk had expressed his belief that Musk and the President would eventually reconcile. “I know both of them very well,” Kirk said in an interview with Megyn Kelly during the summer. “I believe they’ll make up at some point,” he added. “I think their cooperation would be even stronger.”
