And is what Charlie would do,&#8221; the post said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">In another post, Musk wrote: &#8220;Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Following the memorial, Trump also addressed the situation with Musk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">He told the press: &#8220;Elon came over and said hello. I thought it was nice he came up and had a little conversation. We had a very good relationship. But it was nice that he came down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Musk and Trump had a public falling-out earlier this year over a number of crucial issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">On Trump&#8217;s inauguration, Musk was appointed head of the budget-busting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) &#8211; a role he left this May amid some worrying <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/tesla\">Tesla<\/a> financial results.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The duo then appeared to disagree on the benefits of Trump\u2019s &#8216;One Big Beautiful Bill&#8217;, with Musk warning it could cost taxpayers billions and ultimately increase the US&#8217; debt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">However, Trump hit back at Musk and called him a &#8216;bulls*** artist&#8217; and suggested the South African billionaire should go back to where he came from. Yikes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\"><a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/news\/us-news\/elon-musk-trump-uturn-epstein-123791-20250611\">Musk went on to post comments<\/a> claiming that authorities had more information regarding Trump\u2019s alleged involvement with prolific pedophile <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/jeffrey-epstein\">Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Trump and Epstein appeared to have been close in the early 2000s but quickly fell out and Trump denies being privy to his crimes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">During his presidential campaign, Trump promised to release certain sought-after Epstein files &#8211; which now, apparently, never even existed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Following the Epstein comments, the POTUS threatened to review government contracts held by Musk\u2019s companies, while Musk floated the idea of forming a new political party &#8211; the<a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/news\/politics\/elon-musk-new-political-party-america-party-868307-20250706\"> America Party<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">But it appears the pair have turned over a new leaf, having reunited at Kirk&#8217;s memorial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><cite class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\">Featured Image Credit: BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI\/AFP via Getty Images<\/cite><\/p>\n<p class=\"topics-list_topic__nSIGw\">Topics:\u00a0<a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"\/elon-musk\">Elon Musk<\/a>, <a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>, <a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"\/charlie-kirk\">Charlie Kirk<\/a>, <a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"\/politics\">Politics<\/a>, <a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"\/social-media\">Social Media<\/a>, <a class=\"topics-list_tag__Ryb8j\" href=\"\/us-news\">US News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Elon Musk gave a two-word response on why he appeared to &#8216;reconcile&#8217; with Donald Trump at Charlie Kirk&#8217;s memorial.
