Elon Musk Criticizes Italian Migrant Court Ruling

Elon Musk has sparked controversy in Italy by criticizing a court ruling that blocked Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's plan to process migrants in Albania, calling the decision 'unacceptable' and questioning Italy's democratic processes. Italian President Sergio Mattarella rebuked Musk for interfering in Italian politics, emphasizing respect for Italy's sovereignty and constitutional processes. Musk's comments have drawn support from Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, but condemnation from opposition parties who see it as an unacceptable interference. The court's decision follows an ECJ ruling questioning Italy's designation of certain countries as 'safe' for migrant repatriations, complicating Meloni's immigration policy. Musk's involvement coincides with his appointment to co-chair the US 'Department of Government Efficiency' under President-elect Trump, further fueling the debate over his political influence. This situation highlights the tension between national policies and European Union law concerning migrant processing and asylum seekers.
