Elon Musk Denies Dating Rumours with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni

The speculation regarding a potential romantic involvement between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has been squashed by both parties. The rumors gained momentum following a viral photo that depicted the two together, prompting widespread conjecture on social media platforms.

Maye Musk, the mother of Elon Musk, addressed the rumors, stating that she was in fact seated next to her son and praised Meloni as well. “I was sitting next to Elon. I also looked at Georgia with admiration,” she clarified, attempting to put an end to the public’s imagination.

The rumors were further fueled by a comment from a social media user who goes by the name Bad Hombre, identifying himself as a political commentator. He posted pictures of Musk and Meloni with the caption, “Calling it now. They’re banging.” Musk responded to this comment on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, labeling it as “false.”

Elon Musk directly addressed the speculation himself, stating unequivocally, “We are not dating,” in a post made on X. This response was part of a broader engagement from users, with mixed reactions ranging from jokes to more speculative comments about the relationship.

Some users remarked on the apparent chemistry between the two public figures, with one adding, “Why not? You clearly get along.” Another user commented on the viral photo, noting, “That would have been a very nice romantic date photo, Boss!” further speculating about Meloni’s intentions, whether personal or related to Musk’s business endeavors.

The rumors coincided with Musk’s praise for Meloni at an awards ceremony in New York, where he presented her with the Atlantic Council Global Citizen Award. During the presentation, Musk lauded Meloni, commenting, “She’s also someone who is authentic, honest, truthful — and that can’t always be said about politicians.” He further noted the honor in recognizing “someone who is even more beautiful on the inside than on the outside.”

Despite the swirling rumors, both Musk and Meloni have moved to debunk any notions of a personal relationship beyond their professional interactions.
