Javier Milei y Mark Zuckerberg

(From Washington, United States) Around tea time in California, Javier Milei will meet with Mark Zuckerberg to offer Argentina as a pole of technological innovation, in a world scenario that already poses limitations to investment linked to artificial intelligence .


The President surprised with his ideological speech and his economic outlook on Silicon Valley, and opened a scenario of possible investments that could reach Argentina to avoid the regulations already approved in Europe and currently being studied in the United States.


China is the third possibility that tech investors have, but in California they assume that being under the orbit of Xi Jinping would not be a strategic decision in the midst of a global struggle with the White House. In this context, Argentina would offer a business opportunity based on freedom of trade, territorial space and certain stability in the supply chain.


Milei's disruptive position is an argument in its favor when setting its proposal to investors looking for new scenarios for their technological developments. Last night, in San Francisco, the president made a speech where he explained his view on the war in the Middle East and recalled his early days on television.


“I was lonelier than Adam on Mother's Day,” Milei said to an audience that responded with laughter. Thirty businessmen who invest in Artificial Intelligence were listening to it.

"So they create the Ministry of Water to provide water and build a bridge," Milei said to the students who arrived invited by Stanford's Hoover Institute.
