President Javier Milei will travel to San Francisco this week before attending the inauguration of Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele in San Salvador on June 1. There, he will meet with SpaceX and Twitter CEO Elon Musk, along with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. It will be Milei’s fourth trip to the United States since assuming office and his second encounter with Musk this month. Milei previously signaled that he would be making the trip when he endorsed a tweet from a popular libertarian account confirming separate sitdowns with Zuckerberg and Musk. Musk praised Milei after the libertarian firebrand defeated then-Economy Minister Sergio Massa in November’s runoff election, claiming “prosperity is ahead for Argentina.” According to Milei, Musk has also expressed interest in mining the country’s lithium reserves.
