US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk have had a complex relationship, but after a public disagreement, they seem to have reconciled. Trump admitted he missed Musk, who had previously expressed support for Hillary Clinton before criticizing Trump’s character. Despite this, Trump praised Musk as a genius and highlighted the importance of valuing innovative minds like his.
Their bond strengthened with the creation of Musk’s “DOGE” initiative, although there were conflicting reports on its financial impact. A rift occurred when Musk criticized Trump’s policies, leading to a heated exchange of words. However, their feud seemingly ended following the tragic death of Christian Conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Both Trump and Musk attended Kirk’s funeral, where they shared a handshake and exchanged friendly words. Trump expressed his desire to reconnect with Musk, mentioning that he missed him. The conversation also involved plans for a UFC exhibition tournament at the White House, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Dana White, a key figure in UFC, was involved in organizing the event, which may feature renowned MMA star Conor McGregor.
The meeting between Trump and Musk at Kirk’s funeral signaled a potential reconciliation and collaboration on future projects, including the unique UFC event at the White House, showcasing their renewed partnership.
