Elon Musk Responds to Rumors of Dating Italian PM

A photo of billionaire Elon Musk and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni together has gone viral, sparking rumors of the two being in a relationship. Social media was abuzz with comments suggesting they were dating, leading to widespread speculation.

In response, Musk took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to clarify, stating that there is no truth to the dating rumors. 

The viral moment occurred after an award ceremony in New York where Meloni was honored with the *Atlantic Council Global Citizen Award*. Musk, who was present, expressed his admiration for Meloni, stating that he felt proud to present the award to her. He praised her not only for her external beauty but also for her inner qualities, calling her a "genuine, real, and trustworthy person."

Musk also added that he respects Meloni for her contributions as the Prime Minister of Italy and acknowledged the rarity of such reliable figures in politics. Following Musk's post, Meloni responded on her X account, thanking him for his words. The rumors have since been dismissed by both parties.
