Tech mogul Elon Musk once again stole the internet’s attention — this time for a blush. During Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s visit to the White House, Musk was spotted with a bashful expression that quickly sparked a flurry of reactions online.
Their friendly interaction came nearly a year after both dismissed dating rumors that had surfaced following the Global Citizen Awards in New York, where Musk presented Meloni with an award.
‘Happy to See My Friend Elon Musk’
PM Meloni shared a behind-the-scenes video of their cheerful reunion on social media, writing:
“Happy to see my friend @elonmusk back in Washington.”

The video captured the two warmly greeting each other — and eagle-eyed viewers couldn’t help but comment on Musk’s facial expression, which some interpreted as a blush.
Social Media Goes Wild
The internet had a field day with Musk’s shy smile and light-hearted body language. Here’s what people said on X (formerly Twitter):
- “Is it just us, or does Elon look smitten?”
- “Elon has a crush on her. Pretty obvious. ?”
- “I think they might have feelings for each other. Love is in the air.”

Musk Denied Dating Rumors in 2024
The Tesla CEO had previously shut down all relationship speculation, tweeting in 2024:
“We are not dating.”
This came after the two were photographed together at the Global Citizen Awards, where Meloni was in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.
Trump Praises Meloni, Talks Trade
During her official White House visit, Meloni also met with former President Donald Trump, who praised her leadership style and hinted at better EU-US relations.
“Everyone loves and respects her, and I can’t say that about many people,” Trump said.
“She’s taken Europe by storm.”
Meloni, in turn, extended an invitation to Trump to visit Rome and pledged increased Italian imports of US liquefied natural gas.
“Make the West Great Again”
Meloni wrapped up her visit with a bold message:
“The goal for me is to make the West great again,” she told Trump, combining diplomatic charm with business savvy.
While there’s no official romance, fans continue to speculate — especially after Musk’s now-viral “blushing moment.” Whether it’s just mutual respect or something more, Elon Musk and Giorgia Meloni’s dynamic keeps the internet guessing.
