The Argentine president and libertarian leader continue their tour in the United States and visited the Tesla factory, where they toured the facilities alongside his sister, Karina Milei.
Argentinian President Javier Milei met with Tesla and SpaceX owner Elon Musk on Friday, marking their first meeting since various approaches since the libertarian assumed the presidency: “Towards an exciting and inspiring future.”
The leader of La Libertad Avanza is on a new presidential tour: since Tuesday, Milei has held various meetings in the United States and plans to travel to Denmark for a bilateral meeting with the kingdom’s authorities. Meanwhile, Milei, accompanied by his sister and Chief of Staff, Karina Milei, participated in a meeting with Elon Musk and toured Tesla’s facilities.
According to official sources from the government, the President and the entrepreneur discussed in Texas the importance of removing bureaucratic barriers that deter investors. “Musk emphasized the need to encourage birth rates worldwide, emphasizing that the lack of population growth could be terminal for our civilization,” explained the Executive Branch.
“Both agreed on the importance of technological development for the progress of humanity and the need to establish clear and stable rules of the game to attract companies that promote this development,” the official sources noted.
Elon Musk, meanwhile, reiterated his commitment to “the ideas of freedom” and expressed willingness to collaborate with Javier Milei and even pledged to organize “a major event in Argentina to promote the ideas of freedom.” The closeness between Javier Milei and Elon Musk, however, is not new: during the electoral campaign, before the presidential elections, they were mentioned on Twitter repeatedly.
