President Trump was spotted sitting with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk at Charlie Kirk memorial service on Sunday at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Sunday marked the first time the two were seen together publicly since that time.

Musk and Trump shook hands and had a conversation.

Musk wrote on X on Sunday that Kirk was "murdered by the Dark for showing people the Light."
