While much of Europe is busy decrying #Musk's undue interference in national politics, #Meloni is about to hand him the keys to Italy's secure communications system. €1.5bn is no small price to pay for Musk’s good graces and preferential access to Trump 🧵 #starlink #spacex
The Italian government confirmed today it is in talks with Elon Musk’s SpaceX over a possible €1.5 billion deal for secure telecoms — a move certain to infuriate European industry.
Musk ‘ready’ to provide Meloni with Starlink secure comms
News of the talks comes shortly after the Italian PM visited President-elect Donald Trump in Florida.

Italy’s economy unexpectedly stalls in the third quarter. Bank of Italy sees +0.5% growth in 2024 (vs. 1% official projection). Note the sharp slowdown in investment in ’25 as construction tax credits are withdrawn, only partly offset by EU RRF spending.
