Elon Musk

<p><a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/elon-musk-warns-of-the-collapse-of-the-dollar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Elon Musk</a> and Javier Milei, both fervent proponents of the free market economy, met on the sidelines of the prestigious 27th annual global conference of the Milken Institute in Beverly Hills. Accompanied by Karina Milei, Secretary General of the Presidency, and Gerardo Werthein, Argentinian Ambassador to the United States, they showcased their camaraderie during a photo session where Musk openly stated, “<em>I recommend investing in Argentina</em>“.</p>

<p>This <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1787654457339342932" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">meeting</a> comes just a month after their first conversation at a Tesla factory in Texas where they had already shared their mutual enthusiasm and vision. Milei had then shared a snapshot of them shaking hands warmly, with the evocative caption “Long live freedom”, thus underscoring their commitment to the values of free trade and entrepreneurship.</p>

<p>Beyond their common passion for Argentina, Elon Musk and Javier Milei share another point of convergence: their strong support for cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin. The CEO of Tesla has already revealed owning bitcoins and has advocated for Dogecoin, while the Argentinian President sees BTC as a means to return monetary power to the people.</p>
<p>The election of Milei as president has even led some analysts to consider the possibility of Bitcoin gaining legal tender status in Argentina. Such a move could have a major impact on the country’s economy, attracting investments and stimulating technological innovation.</p>
<p>The synergy between these two like-minded personalities heralds the potential for collaboration within the crypto ecosystem. Should this materialize, it might accelerate <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/the-crypto-threat-to-dethrone-visa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin adoption</a> in Argentina, and perhaps in other Latin American countries as well.</p>
<p>It remains to be seen whether this cooperation will materialize and in what form. Regardless, the meeting between Elon Musk and Javier Milei demonstrates the growing interest of world leaders and their ability to transform the economies of emerging countries.</p>
