Musk dismissed dating rumors in 2024
After months of speculation, Elon Musk dismissed all rumors around his relationship with PM Meloni after he awarded her with the Atlantic Council Global Citizen Award last year.
A photo of the two at the New York event had gone viral. The Italian PM was in NYC for the United Nations General Assembly. After social media users spread rumors about their dating lives, the Tesla CEO tweeted: “We are not dating."
‘Everyone loves and respects’ Meloni
Meanwhile, President Trump praised Giorgia Meloni before saying that he ‘fully expects’ to get to a deal with the European Union over tariffs and trade. The Italian prime minister said that Trump accepted an invitation to Rome in the near future.
“Everyone loves and respects her, and I can’t say that about many people,” Trump told reporters in the White House. “I would say that she has taken Europe by storm.”
Meloni pledged to buy more US liquefied natural gas. “You’ll forgive me if I promote a bit my country, but you’re a businessman and you understand me. But we can do even better together.”
“The goal for me is to make the West great again,” Meloni told Trump.
