One man who would not be shocked to see President Donald Trump and Elon Musk getting along at the Charlie Kirk Memorial Service? Charlie Kirk.
The slain conservative activist, just months before he was shot and killed in Utah, predicted the president and his former DOGE boss would reunite after their recent public feud.
In a clip that quickly made the rounds on social media Sunday, Kirk — on the July 1 episode of his program, The Charlie Kirk Show — said President Trump has a “dramatic and telling track record” of reconciling with confidants and business partners that he has been squabbling with. That track record, Kirk said, led him to believe Musk and Trump would be getting along again, sooner than later.
“It is not unheard of for President Trump to get a little bit upset,” Kirk said, before saying the president at one point, a few years ago, was publicly bashing Steve Bannon.
“It’s all part of the Trump story,” Kirk continued. “Sometimes things get very heated and then there’s a reconciliation, there’s a re-approachment. And we all agree we want Elon Musk and we want Donald Trump to work collaboratively.”
The Turning Point USA founder pointed to Trump’s relationship with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a prime example of Trump getting along with someone much better than he did just a few years ago. Kirk said he thought Musk and Trump would follow a similar path.

Charlie Kirk in July: “I think Elon and Trump will reconcile.”
(@JasonJournoDC) The Trump-Musk pairing stands out, of course, to anyone who has been following their relationship this year. Musk appeared to be on good terms when he exited the White House at the end of May — Trump even presented him with a gold key to the White House on his final day.
But things soured soon after, with Musk accusing Trump of withholding files on Jeffrey Epstein because the president was named in them. Musk also threatened to launch a new political party, less than a year after publicly supporting President Trump in the 2024 election and only months after working for his administration. Trump, in turn, threatened Musk’s government contracts.
Musk, during an appearance earlier this month, said he believed the federal government is “basically unfixable.” He also shared he had not returned to Washington, D.C. since his last day working for the Trump Administration.
But the Musk-MAGA relationship has seemed to thaw recently, though — with the Wall Street Journal reporting Musk preferred getting closer to Vice President JD Vance than starting his new party.
And Trump has not seemed to be upset by the spat. The president, earlier this month, said Musk is “80% super genius, and then 20% he’s got some problems. And when he works out the 20%, he’ll be great.”
