The ultra Muskian Stroppa goes out of his way against the Quirinale to defend Musk

Social debate after Mattarella's words on oligarchs, space missions and more (with clear albeit indirect references to Musk) with the super-Muskian Stroppa blowing his mind…

He never mentions it. But the reference is explicit. “The Head of State's attack against the “Musk model”: sovereignty is at risk”, writes Il Messaggero . To better understand the context, it is necessary to report the entire passage of the speech that President Mattarella held yesterday at the Salone dei Curazzieri of the Quirinale for the ceremony of the traditional exchange of greetings with the high officials of the State, the political forces and civil society.

THE REFERENCE TO THE “MUSK MODEL”

“Dimensions such as space or the underwater sphere – said the head of state – are, more and more often, terrains where conflicts between private interests, outside the control of states, are fought. Oligarchs of different backgrounds compete in submarine exploration, in new space missions, in the development of very expensive satellite systems (with military implications) and in the control of social communication platforms, acting, more and more often, as real counter-powers.

The phenomenon is not new in history. Already in the distant past, large corporations found themselves influencing the actions of governments, if not states. With the advent of democracy, states no longer depend on individual interests. And it shouldn't happen. It is politics, democratic representative institutions that must be entrusted with the choices and decisions that impact the social life and freedom of citizens, not the strategies of large financial groups based on their interests, which must be respected – concluded President Mattarella – but within the rules they must observe to protect the fundamental values ​​of civil coexistence".

HOW THE NEWSPAPERS INTERPRET MATTARELLA'S WORDS

According to Il Messaggero, "connecting the dots highlights the danger of the "Musk model", the new icon of the Italian right after his highly applauded performance at the Fratelli d'Italia party in Atreju". For Repubblica "Mattarella criticizes a system dominated by social media oligarchs, the Elon Musks carried around like a pilgrim Madonna by our prime minister". Il Giornale writes that Mattarella "must not have appreciated the Italian catwalk granted to Elon Musk" and "also warns about the hidden implications of artificial intelligence".

For Avvenire "Mattarella's complaint against the "oligarchs (…)" is strong. The focus is on the international scenario, but some see a reference to the triumphal welcome recently offered to the communications magnate Elon Musk”. It is up to Tomorrow the task of looking towards the tenant of Palazzo Chigi: "It is difficult not to see the filigree image of Elon Musk who from the Atreju stage receives the enthusiastic homage of Prime Minister Meloni, that Musk from whose satellites it hangs global democracy. Does the prime minister and this majority – asks journalist Daniela Preziosi – have Musk-like characters as models?”.

ANDREA STROPPA BACK TO DEFEND HIS 'FRIEND' MUSK AND WRITE TO MATTARELLA'S SPOKESMAN

So on X, Musk's platform, he wrote a tweet in which he points the finger at Giovanni Grasso, President Mattarella's spokesperson: “What a disaster @_giovannigrasso @Quirinale, but why do you suggest these words to the President? Damage to the dozens of small Italian businesses that collaborate with Elon's companies and to our space agency."
