Says she is "more beautiful on the inside than she was on the outside".

Showering the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni with praise, billionaire Elon Musk said the right-wing politician was “even more beautiful on the inside than on the outside”.

Elon Musk offered effusive praise for Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni in brief remarks at an awards ceremony in New York, the latest sign of coziness between a billionaire who’s trying to get Donald Trump elected and a European leader at odds with her Group of Seven allies.

The far-right Meloni, who spoke at a think tank gala, has proven to be a more conventional leader than expected.

The Italian prime minister is looking to forge ties with former President Trump’s camp, even as she has proved herself to be a supporter of Kyiv.

No one can ever accuse Giorgia Meloni of being an artless dodger. Italy’s first female prime minister is a policy-oriented leader who puts her nation first, earning respect for proffering substantive solutions to the most intractable of problems.

Italy Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni took to X to wish a happy birthday to her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi who turned 74 on Tuesday and said they will continue to strengthen the ties between the two countries.

Mr. Musk described Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as “authentic, honest and thoughtful.” She used her Atlantic Council spotlight to defend Western values.
