Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk posted an inappropriate image on X, formerly known as Twitter, amid his efforts to praise Argentine President Javier Milei following the latter's Davos speech.
The new populist president of the South American country went on stage at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Switzerland and called on business leaders to do more. Musk's Thursday post showed a naked couple having intercourse as the man was working on his laptop showing Milei during his speech.
Accompanying the image, Musk wrote in the caption, "So hot rn," which many see as trying to convey the idea that Milei's speech was stimulating to the point where it can act as an aphrodisiac.
When the Argentine president spoke at the WEF, he warned that the Western world is in danger and needs to embrace capitalism. At the time, he warned that the danger was because those who were supposed to defend the values of the West were co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism, which he argued results in poverty, as per the New York Post.
The 53-year-old far-right official who is a self-described anarcho-capitalist was elected in November last year. He tore into the dangers of "collectivist experiments" that he called the root cause of the issues that are plaguing the majority of the world right now.
Milei argued that socialism is a phenomenon that only works to create poverty, adding that free enterprise capitalism is the only tool that can be used to end hunger and poverty. In response, Musk called the speech a "good explanation of what makes countries more or less prosperous."
The Argentine president, who has repeatedly drawn comparisons to former United States President Donald Trump, made his first international trip for the WEF. He was seen taking selfies with passengers aboard a commercial flight to Switzerland in an alleged attempt to burnish his credentials as an anti-establishment populist.
Argentine President's Ideas
The situation comes as Musk had previously expressed his admiration of the Argentine president, who has undertaken a radical program of economic transformation while also working to clamp down on public protests, according to Business Insider.
Shortly after Milei was elected as Argentina's president, Musk praised him and said that Argentina was heading towards prosperity. The populist leader's speech in Davos, Switzerland, resonated with conservatives on social media platforms who expressed satisfaction at seeing a world leader slam leftist elites.
Political activist Collin Rugg posted a video and quote from Milei's speech, saying that the new Argentine president demolishes socialism. Another user, Frank Fleming, wrote, "Why can't we get a guy like this in America? This is supposed to be our thing."
There were also others who praised Milei following his WEF speech, including actor Robert Davi, who called him a great leader. Conservative commentator Paul Szypula compared the Argentine president to former U.S. President Trump.
He wrote that Milei drops truth bombs similar to how Trump did during the latter's presidency. Additionally, conservative journalist Ian Miles Cheong proclaimed that Milei "knocked it out of the park," adding that "Leftism does not work," said Fox News.
