Donald Trump and Elon Musk meet and shake hands months after messy split | Elon Musk
Donald Trump met the billionaire Elon Musk, his formerly reliable advisor with whom the president dropped a spectacular audience, during a commemorative event for right -wing activists Charlie Kirk, which raises speculations that the two could be reconciled.
Trump shook his hand and discussed Musk, who once led the President’s so-called Ministry of Government (DOGE), who brought an ax to the workforce and American federal agencies in the first months of Trump’s second administration.
The couple sat in the stands of a stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where tens of thousands of people had gathered to pay tribute to Kirk, who was shot down on September 10 in a UTAH university campus.
The video of the two was shared by the Official White House account on the X social media platform, which Musk has.
Musk donated more than $ 270 million to Trump’s presidential campaign, Barnstorming Key Battleground States for the Republican.
After the elections, he supervised the launch of the DOGE, a controversial initiative which eliminated thousands of government jobs judged by the agency as part of a model of waste, fraud and abuse.
But Musk broke with Trump on flagship taxation of the White House and the bill of expenditure, which Musk called “completely crazy and destructive”. The extraordinary quarrel, which has largely played on social networks, saw Musk accuse Trump of being named in the so -called “Epstein files” – documents linked to the sexual offender, condemned Jeffrey Epstein. In July, Trump said that he would take a look at the idea of expelling musk.
After the fall, Musk went so far as to announce that he launched his own “America First” party, but Little has materialized so far. Musk on his X account has published an image of him and Trump seated together at the Memorial, subtitling him: “For Charlie”.
It is not known if the Sunday’s meeting was the first between the pair since their fall.
