Internet reports that Nelson Peltz, a hedge fund manager who sided with Trump in this U.S. election, said that the stock market rally driven by the election could not continue uninterrupted, and revealed that he was the matchmaker between Trump and Musk. "I was a matchmaker," Peltz recalled paving the way for Musk. One weekend in 2023, when Musk visited Peltz's house, Peltz also invited Trump to have breakfast with him. "Without Musk's help, I don't know whether Trump would have achieved such a sweeping victory," Peltz said. Musk's political action committee spent about $200 million on Trump's campaign.
