Rumors of an alleged romantic relationship between the two were soon put to rest when an image of a meeting at the awards ceremony surfaced.
Online speculation ran wild after Tesla CEO Elon Musk praised Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni during an awards ceremony in New York, which coincided with the United Nations General Assembly.
Social media users quickly commented on their interaction with many tagging them a “perfect couple.”
Comments like “totally shipping these two” and “Now that is the kind of international power couple I can get behind” flooded social media.
On Twitter, someone joked, ” I want to find someone who looks at me the same way Meloni looks at Musk.”

But Musk quickly dismissed swirling rumors of potential romance. When responding to an online post asking if he and Meloni were dating, Musk simply stated, “Not dating.”
It was at the Atlantic Council Global Citizen Award that Meloni’s admirer was brought forward in the person of Musk as he proceeded to present the honor to her, describing her as “beautiful inside and out” and praising her for her authenticity and honesty qualities he purports are few and far in between for this modern era.
