Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently received a message of support from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Meloni expressed her confidence that Musk’s vision and expertise would be valuable assets to both the United States and Italy in tackling future challenges. She wrote, “I am convinced that his commitment and vision will be an important resource for the United States and Italy, in a spirit of collaboration aimed at addressing future challenges.”
Musk’s track record with SpaceX, Tesla, and his recent involvement with X suggests that Meloni’s praise is well-founded. Musk has proven himself capable of leading transformative businesses while cutting costs, as seen with Tesla’s profitability despite operating in a competitive and capital-intensive industry. His business acumen could be an asset in addressing large-scale challenges on both sides of the Atlantic.
Musk’s support for Donald Trump during the election was well-known, with Musk even joking that a victory by the Democratic Party could land him in hot water. However, with Trump’s election, Musk appears to have found a favorable environment for his companies, which could benefit from a reduction in government overregulation. Trump has also mentioned that Musk could assist in streamlining the federal government, potentially cutting down inefficiencies.
Musk has suggested the creation of a new government office, a “Department of Government Efficiency” (D.O.G.E.), which could reduce U.S. federal spending by $2 trillion or more. Although Trump has hinted that Musk would not take an official Cabinet position, it seems clear that Musk’s role in the administration could focus on cost-cutting and improving government efficiency without a formal title.
