Elon Musk had a brief meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni when the latter paid a visit to President Donald Trump to negotiate on tariffs. Meloni shared the video of their greeting in which they shared a kiss on both cheeks and wrote: 'Happy to see my friend back in Washington." Musk-Meloni is not a new thing as Elon Musk, his mother Maye Musk had to put speculations of their romance to rest by dismissing them publicly.
The video of their meeting, followed by Elon Musk's strange expression as if he was observing something, keeping his fingers on his chin, rekindled the rumor while body language expert Judi James gave a detailed breakdown of what the gesture suggested.
“Meloni's charm offensive seems to have worked on Musk judging from his rather old-school gallant response followed by a 'pleasing' evaluation gesture that could have come from the stage directions of a Shakespeare play,” she told Irish Star.
“After the kiss on both cheeks, Musk performs a small bow before stepping back to bring one arm across his body in a barrier gesture while his hand is raised to touch his chin. This would constitute an evaluation ritual but the creasing of his face into a rather bashful smile suggests he is impressed with what he sees," James said.
How 'Meloni-Musk' started
A photo of the two interacting at the Atlantic Council Global Award ceremony in 2024 started the speculations. But Elon Musk dismissed them and said he went to the event with his mother and returned with his mother. Maye Musk too agreed that this was what happened.
Elon Musk is believed to be in a relationship with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, the mother of Elon Musk's a few children. But this is not stopping Elon Musk from making a 'legion of kids' with other women whom he approaches on social media and then makes them sign a non-disclosure agreement. Recently, Ashley St Clair claimed to have mothered Elon's boy Romulus. Tiffany Fong, an influencer, apparently rejected a similar demand from Musk recently, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Meloni, on the other hand, announced her separation from her partner of nearly a decade, Andrea Giambruno, with whom she has a daughter -- in 2023.
