Italian Prime Minister Meloni's Controversy Over Interference in Internal Affairs Musk Dudun Why?

In an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera released on Thursday, Meloni praised Musk for being a `major figure representing our time, a special innovator who always thinks about the future' and `He's an outstanding man and his conversations are always very interesting.'
Musk is a heavyweight in the second Trump administration and is expanding his stride in European politics. He met the leader of the UK's far-right party, poured harsh words into Germany's prime minister and president, and lectured on the outcome of Italy's trial. In response, Italian President Sergio Mattarella expressed discomfort, saying "Respect sovereignty".
However, Prime Minister Meloni is defending Musk and forming a 'Strange Airflow'.
Musk has shown off his friendship several times, attending the Italian right-wing party's annual political events at Meloni's invitation. In addition, he was friendly at public events such as the Global Citizen Awards held in New York in September last year, raising rumors of a scandal.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Meloni was selected as the most influential person in Europe by the European edition of Politico, a U.S. political media outlet, last month. Politico predicted that Trump's return to power would give Prime Minister Meloni greater momentum. Meloni's attitude toward immigrants and LGBTQ people is almost identical to Trump's, and that he is loved by Musk, a key Trump aide and billionaire.
Analysts say that Musk's influence may have been significant in the process of Prime Minister Meloni getting closer to President-elect Trump.
In a recent interview with the New York Post, Trump introduced the fact that he spent time at the same table as Meloni at the official dinner of the Notre Dame Cathedral reopening ceremony in Paris, France, saying, `We are so compatible,' and `I think we can fix the problems of the world with Meloni.'
