"I am convinced that his commitment and vision will be an important resource for the United States and Italy, in a spirit of collaboration aimed at tackling future challenges," she added.
This statement comes at a time when Italy is looking to strengthen its ties with the U.S., particularly in light of the recent US election results where the Republican party's nominee Donald Trump emerged victorious.
Meloni's comments suggest an intention to leverage Musk's influence and expertise to foster economic and technological cooperation between the two nations.
Elon Musk, known for his ventures like Tesla, SpaceX, and his recent management of X Corp, has increasingly been involved in global political and economic dialogues. His interactions with world leaders, including Meloni, indicate a mutual interest in addressing issues like artificial intelligence regulation, space exploration, and sustainable economic development.
The relationship between Meloni and Musk has been noted for its focus on shared concerns such as the decline of birth rates in Western countries and the potential of AI. Their discussions reflect a broader trend among leaders to engage with innovative entrepreneurs to navigate the complexities of modern governance and technology.
While the specifics of their recent conversation weren't detailed, the dialogue between Meloni and Musk underscores a strategic alignment that could redefine transatlantic relations, focusing on innovation, economic growth, and shared cultural and economic values.
