00:00No one in my family, not even Daniele Reineri, has ever talked to Elon Musk.
00:04How can you talk to Elon Musk?
00:07We don't know.
00:09Daniele, who is a journalist, as I am a journalist,
00:16first of all, my family tries to contact anyone at any time,
00:21and the only priority from their point of view was to free me.
00:25None of them has ever talked to Elon Musk,
00:27but Daniele Reineri contacts Elon Musk's spokesman in Italy, Andrea Stropa,
00:33and asks him if he can get this news from his family,
00:38because he doesn't get it from the newspapers.
00:42So it was before, in short.
00:44Elon Musk is the only one.
00:46Relations between the United States and Iran, diplomatic relations,
00:49have been interrupted since 1979, since the Islamic Revolution,
00:52when the Islamic revolutionaries, the Iranians,
00:55kidnap all those who are inside the United States embassy,
01:00which is closed by them.
01:02But it comes out in the New York Times, two months before my kidnapping,
01:07that Elon Musk had met the Iranian ambassador
01:13at the United Nations, which is in New York.
01:16The first time a relationship has been established since 1979.
01:19It's a huge news, because the Americans and the Iranians don't talk directly.
01:25So, obviously, when he knows a lot more than me,
01:29because he has access to the news, and I don't from inside the isolation,
01:32but it is understood that it is a case that concerns both Iran,
01:37both Italy and the United States,
01:39Elon Musk becomes a person ...
01:42Fundamental.
01:43The only answer that Daniele and Andrea Stropa had is informed,
01:46so he knows, from the family.
01:49If Donald Trump had come out publicly,
01:54saying that he wanted particular retortions against some Iranian,
01:59my situation could have been very complicated.
02:02I was sure to be inside much more,
02:06because all the others were inside much more.
02:09I was afraid for my nerves if I had remained in isolation,
02:13but when the company of Cella and the book arrived,
02:16I could have stayed inside much more.
02:19But I knew that there was an upside,
02:21which was the imprisonment of Trump, which scared me.
