**Donald Trump and Elon Musk Spotted Together at Conservative Activist Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Service in Arizona**
US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk were seen sitting side by side at the memorial service of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Arizona. The two were observed speaking privately in a suite during the service, an interaction highlighted by a White House social media account. Elon Musk also shared a post on X featuring Trump, captioned, “For Charlie.”
This encounter marks the first public meeting between Trump and Musk since Musk resigned from his role as a special government employee amid tension. Musk had headed the Department of Government Efficiency until late May, when he criticized the administration’s signature policy bill, calling it “fiscally irresponsible.”
Following Musk’s departure, he published a series of sharp social media posts criticizing Trump. In response, the former president threatened to cancel federal contracts with Musk’s companies. Their joint appearance at the memorial signals a notable thaw in their previously strained relationship, according to The Hill.
