Argentinian President Javier Milei to Meet with Top Tech CEOs in Silicon Valley
Argentinian President Javier Milei is making waves during his trip to Silicon Valley in California, where he is meeting privately with top tech CEOs to promote business relations with Argentina. Milei’s visit comes at a crucial time for the economically troubled country, as high-tech investment could provide a much-needed boost.
During his trip, Milei has met with influential figures such as Sam Altman of OpenAI and Worldcoin, as well as Alex Blania, the CEO of Tools for Humanity. He has also scheduled meetings with tech giants like Sundar Pichai of Alphabet, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, and Tim Cook of Apple. Additionally, Milei will speak at the Pacific Summit and meet with a group of start-up and AI entrepreneurs.
Despite facing political opposition, Milei remains a divisive figure in Argentina, where he ran for office as a proponent of cryptocurrency and promised to dissolve the country’s central bank. While he has backtracked on some of those promises, his frequent meetings with business leaders have helped boost his image.
Inflation in Argentina has fallen from 133% to 50% during Milei’s term, but the country still faces economic challenges. Milei’s visit to Silicon Valley could pave the way for increased high-tech investment in Argentina, providing hope for a brighter economic future.
As Milei wraps up his trip to the United States, he will attend Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s inauguration for his second term, highlighting the importance of international relations in today’s interconnected world.
