Elon Musk and a prominent royal from the United Arab Emirates had a significant meeting before the US presidential election.
After the election, the head of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund was seen with Musk and former President Donald Trump, indicating a strategic alliance that could impact investment dynamics.
Key figures in Middle Eastern finance, including Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the UAE and Yasir Al Rumayyan of Saudi Arabia, see Musk's close ties to Trump as an opportunity to expand their investment portfolios in the United States.
This alliance is expected to attract more interest from Gulf wealth funds in American deals, potentially changing the landscape of international finance.
