#453 โ€“ Javier Milei: President of Argentina โ€“ Freedom, Economics, and Corruption

I never imagined that I would end up discussing demographics and growth with him, you know?

And another very fun thing was that something funny he said to me was that since we shared our vision regarding demographic issues... and the need to populate the planet, he asked me, now, what about you? When are you going to move in that direction? I mean, I said, oh, look, I have five children. And he said, well, the four-legged ones don't count. That was the first meeting I had with Elon Musk.

The second meeting was when here at the universities, we started... seeing anti-Semitic demonstrations where basically Palestinian flags were displayed and Jews were harassed and persecuted.

And also he is very charming. So, I mean, again, I have a great admiration for him and I really interact very closely with him. He is very interested in what our Ministry of Deregulation is doing, which seeks to remove regulations.
