Lip Reader Reveals What Trump Told Musk at Charlie Kirk’s Memorial, Hinting at Possible Reconciliation
Charlie Kirk’s memorial service was held on September 21 at a large sports stadium in Arizona. The event drew a huge crowd and many high-profile conservative figures. Former President Donald Trump was there, along with Elon Musk, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The appearance of Trump and Musk together caused a storm online because their friendship had famously fallen apart years earlier. Musk had once been in Trump’s inner circle when he headed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Trump’s administration. During his time there, Musk laid off a massive number of federal employees, saying it was necessary to save money. His aggressive decisions and controversial political behavior eventually pushed him out of government, and soon after, his relationship with Trump collapsed.
The two men went from being close allies to harsh critics of each other. They fought openly on social media, trading insults in front of millions. At one point, Musk even claimed that Trump’s name appeared in the Epstein files, making the feud even more bitter. Over time, though, the constant public fighting cooled down. Musk had tried to repair things, but their relationship never fully recovered.
That’s why their reunion at Kirk’s memorial shocked so many people. According to Nicola Hickling, a professional lip reader, Musk sat right beside Trump, and the two even shook hands and clapped together during the ceremony. Hickling claimed that Trump told Musk, “All good,” and then leaned in to say, “I think we should stop this and say something now.” His words suggested that the two were finally moving past their old rivalry.
Charlie Kirk himself was a major figure in conservative politics. He was the founder of Turning Point USA, an organization that pushed right-wing ideas among students. His death was sudden and violent—on September 10, he was shot and killed while speaking to students at Utah Valley University. The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was arrested about 30 hours later. Robinson reportedly confessed to his partner that he was tired of what he called Kirk’s “hatred” and decided to take drastic action. Ironically, Robinson came from a family that strongly supported the MAGA movement, which challenged the claims from Trump and other Republicans that a left-wing extremist had been behind the attack.
At the memorial, Trump was seen comforting Kirk’s widow, Erika, who will now lead her late husband’s organization while also caring for their two young children. The emotional moment touched many of the mourners who had filled the stadium to honor Kirk’s life and legacy.
While Melania Trump’s absence raised eyebrows, the bigger headline was Trump and Musk’s apparent reconciliation. Their handshake and private exchange suggested a thaw in their relationship. The question now is whether this renewed bond could mean Musk will be welcomed back into Trump’s political circle—or if their friendship will remain personal, separate from government business.
