Throughout the 2024 US election campaign, Dana White, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk were often seen appearing together at events. The UFC CEO invited both Trump and Musk to major UFC fights, where fans often gave them warm receptions. However, Musk’s relationship with Trump gradually deteriorated over time, only to improve recently when the two finally reconciled in public.
A few weeks ago, popular American political activist Charlie Kirk was tragically killed by a gun-wielding assassin in Utah. The incident sparked outrage, leaving millions of disappointed and grieving supporters across the country expressing anger and demanding justice immediately. As a prominent Trump supporter, Kirk had been one of the most influential voices advocating for the MAGA movement.
Recently, a massive memorial service was held for Kirk in Glendale, Arizona, drawing thousands of mourners who paid tribute to his legacy. During the service, President Trump attended, accompanied by Dana White and Elon Musk, showing solidarity publicly. It marked the first time Musk and Donald Trump were seen together publicly since their very public and shocking fallout earlier this year.

Their fallout reportedly began over disagreements on political endorsements, business decisions, and social media comments that escalated into verbal confrontations. Both exchanged pointed remarks online, with Musk criticizing Trump’s policies and Trump responding with equally sharp tweets, fueling widespread media attention.
The reunion at the memorial signaled a mending in relations, with both leaders appearing to put their previous disputes behind them. During a heartfelt speech, Trump praised Kirk’s unwavering dedication as a husband, father, Christian, and fearless advocate for truth.
Trump called Kirk ‘an American hero,’ emphasizing his bravery and unapologetic commitment to freedom and reason for the country. He highlighted Kirk’s enduring legacy, stating his voice would ‘echo through the generations’ and his name would live forever in America’s history.
Trump also acknowledged Kirk’s widow, Erica, commending her strength and faith while promising to honor Kirk’s memory for future generations. When asked, Musk shared his opinion on Kirk’s death, “He was showing people the light and he was killed by the dark.” Dana White also expressed shock at the news, and the UFC had earlier paid tribute to Kirk at their Noche UFC event.
