The wedding of Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, and Alex Soros, the scion of a liberal philanthropic dynasty, drew a rare concentration of wealth and power.
Elon Musk spent several days signaling that he wants to make up with the president after the two men engaged in a sharp series of personal attacks last week that played out on social media.
Joe Gebbia, a close friend of Mr. Musk’s, is expected to be a part of a small council of advisers that will oversee the Department of Government Efficiency.
