Investments By Companies Tied to Elon Musk Are Not a Threat to Italy, Giorgia Meloni Says
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, an ally of Elon Musk, has asserted that investments from Musk-owned companies pose no threat to Italy. This was in response to a question on risks to national security.
Giorgia Meloni stated, โI work to have major investments in Italy and evaluate the usefulness of each investment through the prism of our national interest.โ Recently, the worldโs billionaire presented Giorgia Meloni with an award in New York. This has made news in Italy. What are these two getting from each other?
Notably, at an event, Musk said that Meloni is authentic, honest, and truthful, and that canโt always be said about politicians. Mutually, Meloni said that Musk is like a genius whoโs been depicted as a monster only because heโs chosen the wrong side politically.
La partecipazione di @elonmusk ad #Atreju รจ stata anche unโoccasione per dialogare insieme sui benefici e i rischi dellโintelligenza artificiale e sulle nuove prospettive legate a Starlink, il sistema satellitare di SpaceX.

Musk and Meloni have discussed investment opportunities in the space and artificial intelligence sectors. Interestingly, foreign space companies are permitted to operate in Italy under the new regulatory framework.
Giorgia Meloni explains her relationship with Elon Musk
Since her far-right-led government assumed power in 2022, Meloni has engaged in frequent meetings with the billionaire founder of Tesla and SpaceX. She did this with the intention of attracting investments to Italy.
In fact, the Italian government under Meloni anticipates foreign space companies will generate 7.3 billion Euros (USD 7.7 billion) in investments by 2026. Last month, Meloni said, โI can be a friend of Elon Musk and at the same time the head of the first Italian government that made a new law to regulate private activity in space.โย
This came up as she responded to questions during a customary parliamentary discussion ahead of an EU summit in Brussels.
Her predecessors were criticized when she said that Italian leaders โwho thought they had a good relationship, even a friendship, with a foreign leader, they had to slavishly follow what the others did.โ Meloni also stated that she had positive relationships with several individuals; however, she does not follow orders from anyone.
Musk advises Italy
In December 2024, Elon Musk was the guest of honor at the โAtrejuโ political festival in Rome. It was hosted by Giorgia Meloni. When taking the stage, Musk told the crowd gathered at the SantโAngelo Castle that Italy should have more children. He stated, โMake more Italians to save Italyโs culture.โย
Musk had previously expressed his belief that โpopulation collapse due to low birth ratesโ is more perilous than global warming. He, therefore, said that there is a risk of losing countries.
Nevertheless, Musk and Meloniโs stance on surrogate babies might be different. Muskโs two children were born through a surrogate, a practice that Meloniโs party recently wanted to define as a โuniversal crime,โ according to Politica.
In addition, the tech behemoth expressed his support for legal immigration. However, asserted that that alone would not resolve the population decline crisis in industrialized nations. He said, โMy advice to all government leaders and people is to make sure you have children to create a new generation.โ
This is a stance that Elon spoke even to the Americans. He contended that the immigration of only highly qualified foreign workers to the US. He asserted, โIโm extremely pro-immigrant. I believe we need a greatly expanded legal immigration system. We should let anyone in the country who is hardworking and honest and will be a contributor to the US.โ
Also, as the X owner addressed the recent departure of advertisers from his social media platform, he stated that it was a symptom of the โwoke mind virusโ that was sweeping the US and was en route to Italy. Still, Muskโs interest in Italy has left people thinking that he has plans to invest in the nation.
