Elon Musk, the billionaire businessman known for his bold technology and space exploration developments, recently met with the first Italian minister Giorgia Meloni in the White House, causing a storm of speculation. The meeting, which was part of Meloni’s visit to Donald Trump to negotiate tariffs, seemed to be a routine diplomatic meeting. However, interactions between Musk and Meloni triggered a flood of rumors when musk was seen blushing, a behavior that is not typical for the generally stoic CEO of Tesla and Spacex.
The video of the meeting, published by Meloni, quickly became viral. In the clip, the two exchange a warm greeting, with Meloni planting a kiss on the two cheeks for musk. His caption, “happy to see my friend in Washington,” he suggested that the two knew each other for some time, but the following body language spoke louder than their own words. Musk’s expression, with his fingers touching his chin as if he were considering something, was enough to rekindle old rumors that they were romantically involved.
Rumors around Musk and Meloni are not totally new. A year ago, after the global Citizen Awards in New York, there were rumors that the two were romantically involved. However, Musk and his mother, Maye Musk, denied rumors, explaining that their interaction at the event was purely professional, with Musk coming and returning with his mother. Despite these denials, his recent meeting raised new questions about the nature of his relationship.
Body language experts analyzed interaction, offering their own readings of Musk’s behavior. Judia James, an industry expert, explained that Meloni’s “charm offensive” seemed to work for Musk, noting that his response was “old -fashioned”, almost as if he had left a Shakespeare play. After the kiss on the cheeks, Musk gave a small loop, a gesture of respect, before taking a step back and folding his arms in front of his body.
This “barrier gesture”, as James called, is often an unconscious way to protect himself, but Musk’s facial expression – a shy smile – suggested that he was “impressed by what he saw.” According to James, this is a classic “evaluation ritual”, in which Musk was unconsciously evaluating Meloni’s attractiveness.
Although Musk’s body language revealed more than he would like, it is the reactions of the public that further fed speculation. A social media user, reacting to Meloni’s post, commented, “Are we just us or Elon really seems to it?” Another added: “Elon has a fall for her. It’s quite obvious.” The comments reflect a growing feeling that there may be more for both of them than just friendship. A third user tweeted: “I think they can have feelings for each other. Love is in the air.”
This last wave of rumors comes at a time when Musk’s personal life is under the microscope. The technology tycoon, which is rumored to be in a relationship with Shivon Zilis, a Neuralink executive and mother of some of his children, was involved in various relationships. In fact, your desire to expand your family through relationships received a lot of media attention. Recently Ashley St Clair claimed to have Musk’s son, Romulus, while influencer Tiffany Fong has refused a similar request from Musk to sign a non -disclosure agreement.
Despite these complicated relationships, Musk’s interaction with Meloni caused a new wave of curiosity. Although previous relationships of Musk are well documented, its behavior towards Meloni is something else. It’s not just the fleeting smile or a strange moment captured on the camera, but the context in which it happened.
Meloni, who announced his separation from partner Andrea Giambuno in 2023, is now sailing in life as a single mother and a powerful political figure. His romantic life was also prominent, making the moment of this new speculation even more significant.
The interaction of Musk and Meloni raised questions about how his personal lives may be more deeply intertwined than previously thought. The kiss on the cheek, although traditional in Italian culture, carried a weight that few could ignore, especially since Musk always tried to keep his emotions under control.
Musk, who built a reputation for being incredibly focused on his ventures, seemed genuinely moved by the presence of Meloni, which may suggest that there is more in their relationship than they publicly recognized.
As speculation continues to grow, it is clear that musk’s feelings by Meloni did not go unnoticed. In a world where public figures are often forced to keep their lives privately secret, even the smallest gesture can trigger a media frenzy. Musk’s body language, his seemingly nervous smile and his defenseless reaction suggest that he can really have feelings for the first Italian minister.
Whether it’s a passing passion or the beginning of a deeper connection, what is certain is that the world is watching and the media eyes are in all interactions between Musk and Meloni.
