Elon Musk has recently criticized Italian judges for blocking the government's plan to deport migrants to Albania. His comments have put Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a difficult position, as she has chosen not to respond publicly. Italian President Sergio Mattarella defended the country's sovereignty, stating that Italy can manage its own affairs. He emphasized that Musk's remarks should be taken seriously, especially given his new political role in the U.S. Musk's comments have sparked outrage among opposition parties and the judiciary in Italy, who view his interference as unacceptable. Despite the backlash, Meloni has remained silent, while Musk continues to question Italy's rule of law on social media.
