Elon Musk has visited several European leaders over Tesla plans.
On Thursday, Elon Musk strode into the Palazzo Chigi in central Rome for a visit with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
While his meetings with leaders from across the political spectrum have focused largely on Tesla, another Musk company has loomed large in the background: Twitter, whose collapsing moderation standards have endangered its future in Europe. This is all happening at a moment in which European leaders are especially eager to attract investment.
“Made in Italy” approach is likely to raise questions about why an American company should funnel investment to a country focused on prioritizing domestic businesses.While he has criticized Musk in the past for failing to protect kids on Twitter, While Musk has not visited Spain on official business, he was invited last year by Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez after calling on the Spanish government – via a tweet – to increase its investment in solar energy.
But on Friday, after meeting again with Macron and being interviewed onstage at a tech event in Paris where he giggled and spoke about the meaning of life, Musk stoppped short of announcing anything concrete. Musk has had little trouble securing face time with world leaders, be it in person or virtually. In just the last six months, he’s met with Mongolia’s prime minister, multiple central government officials in China and the presidents of South Korea, Mexico and Turkey.
