Minutes after Javier Milei was elected president, Elon Musk used X to boost him, sharing videos of Milei attacking social justice with 182 million followers.
Musk's support turned Milei, a pugnacious libertarian, into a leading figure of the modern right. Musk leverages this relationship to push for benefits for Tesla and SpaceX.
Musk called Milei to discuss lithium, critical for Tesla's car batteries. Milei advocates for benefits for international lithium miners, potentially benefiting Tesla with a more stable supply.
Musk has a pattern of fostering relationships with right-wing leaders with clear benefits for his companies and himself, influencing policies in his favor.
