Elon Musk to Stroppa: “Never give up”. And he: “Whoever gives documents to journalists is a traitor”

“There is still something good in this world, Master Frodo, and it is right to fight to defend it.” The latest content published by Andrea Stroppa on X (formerly Twitter) is a quote from Lord of the Ringsthe central saga of JRR Tolkien’s work. The phrase was launched by a “Never give up”. Stroppa is now considered the Elon Musk’s console in Italyofficially works for Starlink, the SpaceX division that provides high-speed satellite internet connection services.

Starlink is in the background of an investigation concerning Sogei, the IT consultancy company managed by Ministry of Economy. In this investigation Andrea Stroppa is under investigation for complicity in corruption. He denies the accusations, on the contrary. Attack those who are disseminating the investigation documents. In a post, now deleted, he writes:

“By publishing alleged documents in the newspapers they think they are doing damage to the company. It’s a shame that the damage instead is for the servants of the State, who regardless of who is in Government or sits in Parliament, defend the Republic, often far from home. The men, if we want to call them that, who from Rome, with their butts in the heat pass documents to journalists, are traitors of the State”.

Elon Musk’s intervention to support Stroppa

Elon Musk is too intervened to defend Stroppa. He responded: “Never give up” to the Lord of the Rings quote launched by his consul. On the matter concerning the Sogei investigation instead Elon Musk he did not express himself directly. Starlink in Italy could play a fundamental role in next years: both to guarantee high-speed internet to the embassies and to complete the Strategy for the Bandaultrga on which Palazzo Chigi has been working since 2015. The objective is to bring high speed internet even in areas where private companies do not want to invest.
