Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and Argentina's President Javier Milei reconvened at the 27th annual Milken Institute Global Conference, marking their second encounter in less than a month.
Musk shared a photo of their meeting on social platform X, where both were captured enthusiastically posing with double thumbs up alongside Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei, and Argentine Ambassador to the United States, Gerardo Werthein. Musk's caption accompanying the image encouraged investing in Argentina.
Their reunion at the prestigious conference, attended by luminaries from various sectors, underscores the convergence of their free-market ideologies.
This meeting follows their initial encounter at a Tesla electric car factory in Texas, where Musk expressed optimism for the future, echoing President Milei's sentiments on freedom.
Both Musk and Milei are proponents of cryptocurrencies, with Musk being vocal about his Bitcoin holdings and support for Dogecoin, while President Milei lauds Bitcoin's scarcity-driven growth model and advocates for returning monetary power to the people. Speculation mounts on potential collaborations between these like-minded individuals in the cryptocurrency space.
