That’s what it’s about
-
Tesla founder and X-CEO Elon Musk is apparently traveling to Italy to take part in a meeting of right-wing politicians.
-
Trump advisor Steve Bannon was also a guest at the Atreyu meeting of the Fratelli d’Italia.
-
Musk took Meloni’s side in the dispute over German sea rescuers.
High-tech entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk is scheduled to attend an important annual meeting of the ultra-right Italian ruling party Fratelli d’Italia (FdI). A spokesman for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s party confirmed Musk’s participation in the Atreyu Festival in Rome on Wednesday. In addition to Musk, the socialist Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama and the leader of the far-right Spanish opposition party Vox, Santiago Abascal Conde, are also expected to take part in the four-day event that begins on Thursday.
Neither the FdI spokesman nor the British government confirmed speculation that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak would also come to the Atreyu Festival. At the end, Meloni is supposed to give a speech.
Prominent right-wing and ultra-right politicians have taken part in the meeting in recent years. In 2018, Steve Bannon, the former chief strategist of then US President Donald Trump, was a guest. A year later, Hungary’s right-wing nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban arrived. But center-left politicians have also been guests.

Meloni was a co-founder of the Atreyu Festival in 1998. At that time she was a member of a right-wing radical youth organization. The meeting, named after a central character in Michael Ende’s novel “The Neverending Story,” is now one of the most important political events in Italy.
