President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk reunited at Charlie Kirk‘s funeral on Sunday months after their messy public feud.
The billionaire Tesla founder shook hands with the commander-in-chief in his box inside the State Farm Arena in Glendale, Arizona, as more than 60,000 mourners said goodbye to the conservative influencer.
Trump and Musk spoke for a brief moment before Trump appeared to motion him away.
Lip reader Nicola Hickling revealed Trump said ‘how are you doing’ as he turned to Musk to greet him.
Musk then appeared to shrug as Trump says: ‘So Elon, I’ve heard you wanted to chat.’
With UFC icon Dana White joining the conversation, Trump suggested, ‘Let’s try and work out how to get back on track.’
Musk responds by nodding his head. The president then hugs his hand and says: ‘I’ve missed you’.
Musk has engaged in a series of social media attacks since June 2025, when he left his role as the head of The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The businessman attacked Trump for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a landmark piece of legislation for his second administration.
Musk warned it could cost taxpayers billions and increase government debt.

Musk was ousted as the DOGE chief earlier this year after falling out of favor with Trump.
Trump escalated their very public spat by calling him a ‘bulls***’ artist. At a Michigan rally in July 2025, the president said of Musk: ‘Maybe it’s time he went back to where he came from.’
Musk had also posted, and then swiftly deleted, a bombshell claim that federal authorities held extra information on Trump in the Jeffrey Epstein files, even going so far as to suggest the president should be impeached.
As Trump walked into the arena on Sunday, the crowd turned and chanted ‘USA, USA, USA.’
The president was met with cheers from tens of thousands of supporter in the stadium.
The president, who called Kirk a friend and praised his work growing conservative grassroots, was joined by his sons Eric and Don Jr. and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Kirk and Musk were some of the biggest advocates for getting Republicans to register to vote in the 2024 election.

The billionaire Tesla CEO spent over more $290 million to support Trump by pushing voters in key swing states to register. The vast majority of Musk’s money flowed through his super PAC, America PAC.
Meanwhile, Kirk dedicated his efforts during the election to hosting events on college campuses across the nation, where he implored conservatives to register to vote.
