This is the second meeting so far this year between Milei and Musk, the first meeting having been at the beginning of April and after having maintained strong interactions on social networks. There the president and the magnate spoke with the aim of obtaining investments in technology and automotive in Argentina.
Another of the rumors that came out of that meeting had to do with the fact that Musk planned to visit Salta and northern Argentina because there is one of the largest lithium reserves in the world.
Elon Musk closely follows current affairs in Argentina: in addition to regularly interacting with the President, he is also aware of his measures. Just a few days ago, launched a new nod to the Government after the fiscal surplus announced by the head of State.
In the United States, Milei defended the economic direction and launched: “The large state model is a prison”
President Javier Milei He presented this Monday at the Milken Institute Forum which took place in Los Angeles, United States. In his speech, the president strongly criticized socialism and policies, highlighted the “superiority” of capitalism, vindicated the figure of the businessman “as a social benefactor” and highlighted the economic policies that he is promoting from his Government.
After making a strong criticism of socialism and warning that “The West is in danger because its leaders moved away from the ideas of freedom”Milei focused on the direction his Government took and considered that they are promoting the “fastest and largest adjustment in the history of humanity, without losing a single support along the way.”
“This is because society understood that it is worth making the effort required to change course. The ‘big state’ model is a prison, and Argentine society understood it. That is why he supports the law that we are promoting in Congress, which is the most important state, tax, fiscal and regulatory reform project of the last 150 years.”he expressed.
How can it be that the political force with the largest parliamentary minority in democratic history, in a context of total economic hardship, can promote the most ambitious reform in living memory and do so with popular support? Because Argentine society demands a profound and urgent change of course to once again embrace the ideas of freedom,” added the libertarian economist.
Immediately afterwards, the president asserted that his Government is fulfilling its promise to end the deficit, monetary issuance and inflation. “The establishment did not want to give us credit and many things were said. It was said that making an adjustment of more than one point of GDP was impossible. It was said that having zero deficit in the first year was impossible. It was said that a rate policy lows would not serve to reduce inflation. But we have defied these forecasts and we are meeting our objectives,” he stated in what he defined as “a feat of world-historical proportions.”
Later in his speech he noted that the goal of his government is to return to the Argentines every peso the State saves by first “eliminating inflation and then reducing taxes.” “Our goal is to dismantle the tangle of regulations that Argentina has become, to free economic activity and unleash its productive force,” he stated.
In this sense, he highlighted the Bases Law and the DNU driven from the executive. “We have sanctioned an executive order where we repealed more than 350 laws. That is why we are promoting a law that contains reforms at the fiscal, labor, pension and tax levels, including an unprecedented promotion regime for large investments. In total, between both instruments we will have introduced nearly 700 structural reforms in the first five months of the Government. A reform program 7 times larger than the state reform promoted by the president. Carlos Menem in the early 90s, the last great liberal project that Argentina had,” said the president.
“We are making the most ambitious reform program of the last 150 years a reality. Because the only way to get 60% of Argentines out of poverty is with economic growth and there is only economic growth with freedom. “There is no other way,” she said.
