Donald Trump and Elon Musk were spotted together at the memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Glendale, Arizona, hinting at a rare moment of reconciliation.

A professional lip reader has analyzed video from the event, offering insight into their private exchange.

Nicola Hickling, the lip reader, reported that Trump began with a friendly “How are you doing?” and suggested they “work out how to get back on track.”

Musk reportedly nodded and replied, “I’ve missed you,” signaling a thaw in relations after previous public disagreements.

This interaction comes following Musk’s resignation from the Department of Government Efficiency and earlier criticisms of Trump’s administration.

Their brief reunion at Kirk’s funeral highlights the shared respect both figures have for Kirk’s legacy and the causes he championed.

The memorial, held at State Farm Stadium, drew a wide range of political and public figures. Observers noted the significance of Trump and Musk’s conversation, though neither has publicly commented on it.
