Italy's far-right prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, said on Thursday Elon Musk's political interventions only caused outrage because he wasn't left-wing -- and that foreigners had been interfering in Italian politics for years.
Meloni, head of the post-Fascist Brothers of Italy party, said Musk was exercising his right to free speech. Instead, she accused powerful people on the left of political interference, including billionaire financier and philanthropist George Soros.
Musk -- a billionaire ally of US President-elect Donald Trump who is set for a role in the incoming administration -- has provoked fury across Europe with a string of attacks on the continent's leaders, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Meloni rejected a suggestion that Musk's comments on his X social network constituted "dangerous interference".
"The problem is when wealthy people use their resources to finance parties, associations and political exponents all over the world to influence the political choices of nation states", Meloni told reporters at a yearly press conference.
"That's not what Musk is doing," she insisted.
"Elon Musk financed an election campaign in his country, by his candidate, in a system in which, by the way, I would point out that this is quite common," she said.
"But I am not aware of Elon Musk financing parties, associations or political exponents around the world.
"This, for example, is what George Soros does," Meloni alleged.

Far right?
Post Fascist ?
😂👍. NaughtZ, naughtZ, naughtZ.
And may Gyorgy boy face the music soon.
Good Luck to both of them.
When the USSR fell the left didn't just double down, they quintupled down. They've been plotting and planning ever since. Their ideology is anti-human.
Post “Fascist Italian Brothers”, or post-Fascist (meaning after WWII), “Italian Brothers”?
Deliberate Far-Left wing smear.
She did belong to the Italian Social Movement when she was young, and then the National Alliance.
Gyorgy boy? Guess for a change I missed something. 🤔😂👍
Yeah Elon, go for it. She looks like she likes you.
I’ll be proud of you...
Italy’s far-right prime minister”
AP is such trash. She is maybe center right on some issues. She is light years from being “far right”.
It's a very encouraging. I was under the assumption that Europe was gone forever and we stood alone. Now I see that hope remains that men of the west will unite to repel the socials hoards of Mordor.
Maloni knows whereof she speaks and she’s not afraid to speak it. God bless that woman! Her countrymen should be supporting her 100%! Anyone who attacks Soros and any of the other FAR-LEFT EU apparatchiks is on the same page as our fearless winner of three consecutive Presidential elections!

“Italy’s ‘far-right’ prime minister”
It never fails. Why don’t we ever hear ‘far left’?
Far Right = Anyone to the right of Trotsky.
Yeah Elon, go for it. She looks like she likes you.

Yeah go for it, but be cautious and use a rubber!
Italian girls are more dangerous than shotguns.
