Meloni ” bows” to Musk: “He is a genius, they present him as a monster”

The Italian Prime Minister defended the American billionaire for the criticisms he received from European capitals describing him as a “intelligent man” in an interview published today, Friday (03.01.25) in the Corriere della Sera newspaper. “He is an important personality of our time, an excellent novelist who always has the future in mind,” said Georgia Meloni, among others, confirming that Elon’s company investments Musk in Italy do not pose a threat to the country. CORVERSE The leader of the far-right party “Brothers of Italy”, as she points out, has also spoken about his personal relationship with Tesla’s founder: “We are clearly two people who have a very good relationship. He is a brilliant man and it is always very interesting to associate with him.” After Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, Elon Musk is increasingly attempting to influence politics in Europe with statements in various media. Among his comments is the designation ‘tyran’ for German President Frank- Walter Steinmeyer and “stupid” for Chancellor Olaf Salts. CORVERSE Calls are now being made on many sides to limit its influence. Elon Musk gave last year a eulogy speech about Georgia Meloni when the Italian Prime Minister was awarded in the US. Meloni is currently considered to be the one among the leaders of the major EU states, with the best relations with Trump’s camp. In her interview in the newspaper weekend insert, released today in the electronic edition, Meloni also stated that there are areas where with Musk “they have big disagreements”. “Some described him until yesterday as a genius and today they present him as a monster only because he chose the “wrong” camp,” she pointed out. Meloni’s relations with the richest man on the planet have become headlines in Italian newspapers and international press, especially after the hugs and exchange of compliments of the two last September in New York, when Musk awarded an award to the Italian Prime Minister.
