Mr. Musk has built a constellation of like-minded heads of state — including Argentina’s Javier Milei and India’s Narendra Modi — to push his own politics and expand his business empire.

At least La Libertad Avanza seems to be picking up steam.
Great article. After reading the artcle it sounds like both Musk and Milei both benefit. Seems logical and smart to me.FYI.

But as this article says, Musk is just using Milei isn't he? He wants some sweetheart deal for Tesla. I just hope Argentina gets a good deal out of it as well.

Elon Musk's Tesla dreams may hinge on his blossoming bromance with Argentina's libertarian president Javier Milei
Argentina has lots of the lithium needed for EV batteries, which Tesla will need plenty of to be able to significantly increase car production.

In any case, they are using each other. One needs lithium, the other needs all the help he can get to entice investment.

Exactly. Neither is hurting anyone and seem to enjoy hanging out. Win/win.

However, I see this relationship as something very positive for the country.

Both Elon Musk and Javier Milei are extremely smart guys. Both of them are probably on the spectrum as they say. They understand the importance of networking and relationship building. Look at how fast Musk was able to get Starlink launched once he had the support of President Milei. And good things will happen for both because of that mutually beneficial relationship.

Speaking of Vaca Muerta. Argentina could make a fortune with all the flared gas in Vaca Muerta.

I like that they praise each other. This is surely a sign that things will work out, and hopefully, more investments will follow.Both Elon Musk and Javier Milei are extremely smart guys.

Lately, I've been reading a lot of good news. It's a sign that we're on the right track.
This news is fantastic for the country. The $300 million investment in Patagonia is a major boost. It's not just about creating a bunch of jobs here; it also puts us on the global map as key players in gas production. This not only generates direct and indirect jobs in the region but also strategically positions us to meet the growing global demand for energy. Plus, it shows that we're moving towards a greener and more prosperous future.

Yes it sounds like over a billion dollars has already been pledged from various foreign companies that are starting to invest in Argentina.
Today I read about Milei getting rid of laws making it more difficult for foreigners to sell real estate there. Sounds like things keep improving for foreign investors.

These investments help expand our gas production, allowing us to meet energy demand both domestically and internationally. They also boost the local and national economy, creating numerous jobs and fostering new technologies in energy. It's crucial for diversifying our energy sources and ensuring we always have enough energy in the future. So, this is very positive for the country 👌
This is true. Argentina is boosting its oil and gas production, especially in the Vaca Muerta shale reserves. Many foreign companies are now interested in investing.

It is a positive that foreigners are coming to invest but most of them are overly optimistic. Some are admitting it right now too.

This is going to be huge for Argentina. You can see all the companies Milei met with yesterday at Vaca Muerta.
