Musk-Meloni dating? Elon's mother says 'I went back to the hotel...'

Amid rumours of Elon Musk dating Georgia Meloni after a picture of them together went viral on social media, the Tesla CEO's mother reacted, putting an end to the public imagination.

"I was sitting next to Elon. I also looked at Georgia with admiration," Maye Musk said.

Her response came in after a person named Bad Hombre, who calls himself a political commentator, posted two pictures of the two with the comment: "Calling it now. They’re banging." Musk responded to this calling it "false."

Elon Musk addressed rumours about dating Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after a photo of the two went viral on social media. The Tesla CEO responded to a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, stating, "We are not dating."

The post elicited mixed reactions, with some users speculating about the pair. One user commented, "Why not? You clearly get along." Another added, "That would have been a very nice romantic date photo, Boss! Minus the bodyguard in the background getting in your way. Boss, her net worth is around 30 million! Very impressive for a politician! She made a positive impression on Maye too! I noticed you seemed quite shy when making your speech, very unlike you. I think she might have a crush on you, but she could also be interested in SpaceX. She seems like a good and sincere woman. When the EU was against you, she stood by you! I love this video! So cute!"

This conversation followed Musk's praise for Meloni at an awards ceremony in New York the previous day. While presenting the Atlantic Council Global Citizen Award to her, Musk remarked that it was an honour to recognise "someone who is even more beautiful on the inside than on the outside." He added, "She’s also someone who is authentic, honest, truthful — and that can’t always be said about politicians."
