Trump and Elon Musk shake hands at Charlie Kirk memorial following public fallout
- Donald Trump and Elon Musk were seen shaking hands at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service in Arizona, marking a reunion after a recent public feud.
- Musk had previously served in Trump's administration, leading the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) and overseeing significant federal layoffs and contract terminations.
- Their split intensified after Musk publicly criticised Trump’s 'One, Big Beautiful Bill' for its potential impact on the budget deficit.
- The feud escalated further when Musk claimed Trump was mentioned in the Epstein files, though tensions later eased with Musk expressing regret and Trump stating he had “no hard feelings”.
- Following the reconciliation, Musk announced plans to form a new 'America Party', an idea Trump dismissed as 'ridiculous' and even threatened Musk with deportation.
