Elon Musk has stirred controversy in Italy by urging the resignation of judges who ruled that asylum seekers from Egypt and Bangladesh should have their cases processed in Italy rather than transferred to Albania. His remarks, made during a political event in Rome, prompted a strong response from Italian President Sergio Mattarella, who emphasized the country’s sovereignty. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has remained cautious in her reaction, balancing her relationship with Musk while facing criticism from the opposition for the apparent inconsistency in her stance on international influence. Meanwhile, Meloni seeks to attract Musk’s investment in Italy.
