Giorgia Meloni: I talked to my friend Elon Musk
“Over the last few hours, I spoke with my friend Elon Musk. I am convinced that his commitment and vision can be an important resource for the United States and Italy as we work together to meet the challenges of the future,” Meloni wrote on the X platform. She also posted a photo of Musk.
Musk played a large role in Donald Trump's electoral success. He supported his campaign with over $100 million. Reuters recalls that the right-wing Prime Minister of Italy and the richest man in the world have repeatedly publicly boasted about their close relations in recent months. And so much so that Musk had to assure in September at X that they were not having an affair.
Meloni and Musk showered each other with compliments
Two months ago, Elon Musk presented the head of the Italian government with an award from the Atlantic Council think tank and during his speech he stated, among other things, that Meloni is “someone who is even more beautiful on the inside than on the outside”, to which the politician responded by calling Musk ” “genius.” “They were later photographed looking into each other's eyes at a banquet table, which sparked a series of jokes and comments in the Italian media,” writes Reuters.
Meanwhile, there is speculation about what role the billionaire will play in the Trump administration. Unofficially it is said that Musk is expected to be the person responsible for cutting federal spending. At Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden on October 27, the world's richest man announced that he wanted to cut the federal budget by $2 trillion. He added, among other things, that he would strive to reduce the number of federal agencies.
