On the afternoon of September 21, local time, U.S. President Donald Trump attended a commemoration ceremony for his political ally and well-known conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Billionaire Elon Musk appeared at the commemoration scene, shrugged his hands and sat down to talk with Trump. Musk and the White House also posted photos of the two men on social media, saying "it's for Charlie."On the way back to Washington, Trump was asked by an accompanying reporter to say that it was Musk "proactively came to say hello."
Musk, who supported Trump and the Republican Party in the 2024 U.S. election, served as head of Trump’s “Government Efficiency Department,” but a few months ago, Musk announced the creation of a new “American Party” because of the so-called “big and beautiful” bill.
