Elon Musk and Nelson Peltz informed Donald Trump about an influence campaign in elite circles, where Musk and his political allies host gatherings of powerful business leaders to dissuade them from supporting President Biden’s reelection campaign. Musk and Trump have begun speaking on the phone several times a month, discussing a potential advisory role for the Tesla CEO in a second Trump administration. The discussions have included Musk's input and influence over policies related to border security and the economy, areas where Musk has become increasingly vocal. The Wall Street Journal reports that these conversations also cover topics such as action on voter fraud and Musk's organization of friends against Biden.
