In an unexpected surprise, American tech mogul Elon Musk appeared alongside President Donald Trump during the memorial ceremony for right-wing activist Charlie Kirk last night, September 21, 2025, despite the sharp disagreements that erupted between them months ago.
Live footage that spread on social media showed Musk sitting next to Trump exchanging a few words before shaking hands and leaving the venue.
Musk was also seen talking with several Republican politicians and waving to the crowds that attended the event in Arizona.
In a move that drew the attention of followers, Musk posted a picture with Trump on his account on the platform “X”, captioning it with one word: "For Charlie", referring to the late activist's call for reconciliation between them.
He also shared a video of brief statements in which Musk considered that the assassination of Kirk occurred because he spoke the truth.
It is worth noting that Musk had funded Trump's presidential campaign with over 250 million dollars, was appointed as an advisor to him, and led the government efficiency committee that implemented wide cuts in government jobs until May2025, which sparked mixed reactions.
However, the relationship between the two men later deteriorated due to public disagreements over Trump's support, as Musk claimed that Trump's arrival at the White House would not have happened without his support, and called for his ousting.
Trump responded by linking Musk to the late businessman Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sexual assault, and suggested the possibility of Musk using drugs, threatening to void government contracts with his companies Tesla and SpaceX.
This unexpected meeting opens the door to speculation about the possibility of easing tensions between the two, especially in light of Charlie Kirk's call for reconciliation, which Musk seems eager to remind everyone of.
Do you expect this meeting to restore the relationship between Musk and Trump to its former state?
