Nelson Peltz, the hedge fund manager who sided with Trump in the election, said the election-fueled stock market rally could not continue uninterrupted, and revealed that he was a matchmaker between Trump and Musk. "I'm a matchmaker," Peltz recalled, paving the way for Musk. One weekend in 2023, when Musk visited Peltz's house, Peltz also invited Trump to breakfast. "I don't know if Trump would have won so comprehensively without Musk's help," Peltz said. Musk's political action committee spent about $200 million on Trump's campaign.
