For the first time, billionaire Elon Musk met Argentine President Javier Milei at Tesla headquarters, a development which is being termed as “bromance” by the fans.
Musk and Milei have apparently agreed to collaborate on several things, including potential lithium projects and in promoting free market.
While the two have previously exchanged several pleasantries on X (formerly known as Twitter), the two met in person for the first time, according to Wall Street Journal.
One of the richest man in the world, the Tesla owner, has showed admiration for Milei's full-throated embrace of private enterprise on several occasions.
The chief spokesman for Milei, Manuel Adorni said that the pair met at the electric vehicle headquarters in Austin, Texas and discussed a variety of topics, ranging from the need to accelerate declining birthrates worldwide to pursuing technological development while protecting "liberty."
In comments to media persons, Argentine Ambassador to the United States, Gerardo Werthein, said, "We talked about the investment opportunities in Argentina in lithium."
He also said, "Musk said he wants to help Argentina."
As per the statement posted by Adorni, Milei also offered his support to Musk over his X dispute playing out in Brazil.
Last Sunday, a Brazilian Supreme Court judge opened an investigation into Musk after the billionaire said he would reinstate X accounts that the judge had ordered blocked.
