Elon Musk is denying that he and Giorgia Meloni are an item, saying there’s “no romantic relationship whatsoever” with the Italian prime minister.
The Tesla co-founder took to his social platform X this week to shoot down suggestions of a romance with Meloni, after the two were photographed grinning at each other while sitting side-by-side at an awards ceremony this week.
“I was there with my Mom,” Musk, 53, wrote of the Atlantic Council’s Global Citizen Awards held Monday in New York City.
“There is no romantic relationship whatsoever with PM Meloni,” added Musk, who’s been married three times.
Meloni had reportedly requested Musk introduce her at the black tie event as she was honored by the D.C. think tank.
The right-wing Italian leader, Musk said in his remarks, is “someone who is even more beautiful on the inside than she is on the outside.”
“Giorgia Meloni is someone that I admire, that’s done an incredible job as the prime minister of Italy,” Musk told the audience.
“She’s also someone who is authentic, honest, truthful — and that can’t always be said about politicians,” he cracked.
