President Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk met during Charlie Kirk's memorial service Sunday in Arizona, some three months after their public falling out.
The big picture: Two of the world's most powerful people were once close allies, but fell out over Trump's "big, beautiful bill," after Musk attacked the president's signature law — prompting the president to suggest he could cancel his former adviser and biggest political donor's government contracts.
State of play: After Trump and Musk were captured on camera shaking hands behind bullet-proof glass at the memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., the SpaceX CEO posted a photo on his platform X with the words "For Charlie."
- Trump told reporters on Sunday night that Musk "came over and said hello," which he thought was nice, per a White House pool report.
- "We had a little conversation," Trump added. "We had a very good relationship but it was nice that he came over."
