Trump and Musk Spotted Together After Months
Videos from a recent memorial show Donald Trump and Elon Musk seated side by side, engaging in what appears to be a cordial conversation. This marks their first public meeting since Musk left his role as a special government employee overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under tense circumstances.
The memorial appearance has sparked speculation that their previously strained relationship may be easing. Musk shared a photo from the event on his social media platform, X, and the White House also posted an image of the two in discussion.
Background on the Fallout
Musk had actively supported Trump’s presidential campaign in key battleground states, contributing over $270 million. After the election, Musk launched the DOGE program aimed at reducing government waste, which gained significant attention.
Following Musk’s departure from DOGE, he publicly criticized Trump’s policies on social media. Trump, in turn, threatened to revoke federal contracts with Musk’s companies. Musk had also suggested forming an “America First” party, though the plan has not yet materialized.
Sunday’s memorial appearance may signal the first public steps toward reconciliation between the two influential figures.
