At the memorial service for Charlie Kirk in Glendale, Arizona, President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk shared a brief handshake—marking their first public moment together since the feud that erupted earlier this year. Spectators noted Musk initially seated apart before moving over to join Trump, and the two were photographed conversing amid applause.
The event drew tens of thousands to State Farm Stadium, with overflow crowds gathered outside. The day’s tributes also included speeches by conservative leaders, with Trump calling Kirk a hero and others reflecting on his impact.
Later, Musk posted a photo of the handshake on X with the simple caption “For Charlie,” signaling what many interpreted as a gesture of respect and perhaps much-needed unity.
