Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s reunion
Another highlight from Kirk’s memorial service was Trump and Musk’s meeting.

Trump was seen shaking hands with Musk and talking to him as they sat in a stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
A lip reader told the Mail Online what Trump and Musk said to each other, claiming that the US President suggested that they “try and work out how to get back on track,” and even told Musk that he “missed” him.
