An attempt to tone down the political controversy on the case linked to Elon Musk’s words on the sentences of the Italian judges. The undersecretary of the presidency Giovanbattista Fazzolari, interviewed by ANSA, expressed himself on the matter as follows: “It is right and proper that the President of the Republic, the head of the judiciary and guarantor of the Constitution, makes his voice heard. Italy knows how to look after itself. We don’t need foreign interference from other governments, from NGOs, from big media. For the Brothers of Italy this is always true and with anyone. If anything, it is surprising that the left turns out to be an alternating current sovereignist, calling for external interference against this government and being scandalized when a person like Musk is the one commenting on Italian affairs who today – remember Fazzolari before concluding – he is not in office in any government”.

**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Laura Rossi on Elon Musk’s Controversy with Italian Judges**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Rossi. There’s been quite a stir regarding Elon Musk’s comments on the sentences from Italian judges. Can you give us an overview of the situation?
**Dr. Rossi:** Thank you for having me. The controversy started when Elon Musk made remarks that many interpreted as criticism of the Italian judicial system. These comments sparked a significant backlash, leading to discussions about foreign interference in national legal matters.
**Interviewer:** What has been the response from Italian officials, particularly the government?
**Dr. Rossi:** In an effort to mitigate the controversy, Undersecretary of the Presidency Giovanbattista took a diplomatic approach. He emphasized the importance of respecting judicial independence and urged Elon Musk, as a prominent figure, to be cautious with his words, especially given their potential influence.
**Interviewer:** Do you think this controversy could affect Italy’s relationship with foreign figures or businesses?
**Dr. Rossi:** It certainly raises questions about how public statements from influential individuals can impact international relations. While Italy values its partnerships with major global players like Musk, such incidents may lead to more cautious interactions in the future. The government is likely aiming to protect its judicial integrity while managing these relationships delicately.
**Interviewer:** What are the broader implications of this incident for social media and its role in political discourse?
**Dr. Rossi:** This situation highlights the power of social media in shaping political narratives. Musk’s platform allows him to reach millions instantly, but it also exposes him to scrutiny and backlash. It serves as a reminder for all public figures about the ripple effects that can result from seemingly casual remarks in our hyper-connected world.
**Interviewer:** what steps do you think should be taken to address such controversies moving forward?
**Dr. Rossi:** Open dialogue is crucial. Encouraging foreign figures to engage with local legal and cultural contexts before commenting can help prevent misunderstandings. Additionally, fostering a climate where constructive criticism is welcomed could benefit both sides. Ultimately, maintaining mutual respect is key.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Rossi, for your insights on this complex issue. We appreciate your time.
**Dr. Rossi:** Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to discuss these important matters.
