Meloni-Musk, the pact between the two with a view to the US presidential elections
Elon Musk will celebrate at New York Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Melonsis scheduled for this evening in United States a special gala dinner in which the owner of Tesla and X will deliver the Atlantic Council Award. But there seems to be more than just mutual sympathy between the two. The government, in fact, – reports La Repubblica – has already Open to Musk’s companies opportunities in Italy. One is in the Space Bill that the government approved before the summer and is about to begin its process in Parliament. Article 25 provides that Italy equips itself with a “reserve transmission capacity through satellite communications” to ensure the functioning of strategic, military and civilian services, in the event of a blackout of terrestrial Internet networks. The “European Union or NATO” companies able to offer it are two: the French one OneWeb and Starlink by Musk.
The latter has ten times more satellites and lower costs: in the event of a competition it appears to be the favourite. It can also assert the fact that it has kept connected Ukraine under Russian bombs and the Romagna flooded last year. But behind the agreement between Meloni and Musk there could also be the France. Italy, in fact, – continues La Repubblica – is dissatisfied as France – strong in the delegation of the former “home” commissioner Breton – has unbalanced the balance in his favor of the EU space industry. A temptation, that of strategically approaching Musk’s industries, which in the event of a victory Trumpto which the richest man in the world has provided funding and advice, would become perfect political alignment.
Then there are – according to what La Repubblica has learned – the launchers (rockets), another field where Musk’s SpaceX has established itself as most advanced frontier and where the relationships between Italy and Franceinvolving Leonardo in various alliances, suffer from chronic stomach aches. Leonardo calls for a relaunch of common projects that better balances the burdens, in the perspective of the European champions promoted by Draghi. Airbus And Thales Instead they consider solving the difficulties by merging their space activities, which would give Paris even more weight.
