Tech executive Elon Musk and Argentine President Javier Milei have sealed their budding bromance at a Tesla electric car factory in Texas — their first meeting after months of mutual admiration on social media.

El presidente argentino Javier Milei sale del escenario despus de hablar ante estudiantes de la Universidad Internacional de Florida el jueves 11 de abril de 2024, en North Miami, Florida. – One is an erratic billionaire entrepreneur and self-declared free-speech absolutist, prone to profanity-laden rants against “wokeness” and obsessed with making humanity a multi-planetary species.

But behind the smiley photo-op — and video of Milei's joy ride in a futuristic Cybertruck pickup — much was at stake for Argentina. “There’s a chance that Argentina can fill this vacuum and eventually be a strategic partner for the U.S.,” said Sergio Berensztein, who runs a political consultancy in Buenos Aires. “Musk can serve to speed this process of Argentina becoming part of the new network of friends."
