«It is an honor to be here to present this award to a person who is even more beautiful inside than outside. He has done an incredible job as prime minister, with record growth and employment. He is an honest, true, authentic person”: he said it Elon Musk presenting the Atlantic Council’s “Global Citizen Award 2024” to the prime minister Giorgia Meloni.
«There is a narrative that authoritarian regimes take great care (of their citizens, ed.). It’s about the idea of the West’s inevitable decline, the idea that democracies fail to keep their promises. An army of foreign and malicious trolls and bots is busy manipulating reality and exploiting our contradictions. But to fans of authoritarian regimes, let me say very clearly that we will defend our values”: this was said by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni upon receiving the Atlantic Council’s «Global Citizen Award 2024» from Elon Musk.
