Elon Musk Denies Romance Rumors with Italian Prime Minister

SpaceX founder Elon Musk has stated that there are "no romantic relations" between him and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. He shared this information on his social media platform X.

Rumors about their supposed "affair" began circulating on September 23, following a dinner at the Global Citizen Awards in New York. During this event, photographers captured Musk and Meloni at the same table. According to Politico, that evening, Musk told Meloni that she is "internally more beautiful than externally" and referred to her as "genuine, honest, and thoughtful." Meloni, in turn, called Musk a "dear genius."

As reported by the New York Post, Musk and Meloni have met several times over the past year, including in June 2023 at the Prime Minister's official residence in Rome. Musk also spoke at a political festival organized by Meloni's far-right "Brothers of Italy" party in December 2023.

The businessman and the politician may share a common worldview; both pay attention to demographic politics, share right-wing political views, and have an interest in technology.
