The Prime Minister of Italy together with her ‘date’ during the Global Citizen Awards by the Atlantic Council (two big hints there) last night.
In presenting the award, SpaceX Chief Engineer and Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk spoke of his admiration for Meloni.
She has done an “incredible job” as prime minister, he said, noting Italy’s strong economic growth and low unemployment. “She’s authentic, honest, truthful—and that cannot always be said about politicians,” Musk added.
And yes, in case the two fellas standing at the back on the right look familiar, you are not seeing things:
As we celebrate the achievements of tonight’s honorees, I would also like to salute the leadership of another distinguished group of individuals, as is our tradition, and they are our 2024 Global Citizen dinner co-chairs.
It’s the largest group in the fourteen-year history of this dinner.
So, Victor Chu, my, how things have evolved since we launched these awards together in 2010 with our inaugural awardee, Klaus Schwab and Lang Lang on the piano.
In this room tonight we have 700 attendees from 53 countries, six current heads of state and government, two former heads of state and government, six former honorees—Klaus Schwab, Luis Alberto Moreno, Albert Bourla, Azam Jangravi, who represented the women and girls of Iran, Victor Chu, and Bahaa Hariri. That’s on top of twenty-five ministers, more than twenty ambassadors, more than a dozen senior US government officials.
