Lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Mail Online that Trump simply said “how are you doing” as he turned away from Dana White to greet the Tesla boss. Musk seemed to shrug as Trump said he was aware that he wanted to talk.
“Let’s try and work out how to get back on track,” Trump reportedly added.
Musk nodded in response as Trump shook his hand and seemingly said, “I’ve missed you.”
Musk then nodded again, and then stood up from his seat and walked away.
Both Musk and the White House shared photos of Trump and Musk’s reunion, captioning it, “For Charlie.”
