- Images show Musk making a “pyramid” or steepled hand gesture that Trump appeared to mirror, a common posture in politics often linked by body‑language analysts to confidence or focus.
- Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that Musk “came over and said hello,” characterizing the moment as a polite conversation rather than a sign of rapprochement.
- A lip reader’s account suggesting talk of “getting back on track” remains unverified, and no policy shift has been announced since their public falling‑out over Musk’s exit from DOGE and criticism of the Big Beautiful Bill.
