Elon Musk praised Argentina’s new populist president with a racy meme on his X social media account.
Musk posted a not-suitable-for-work image on Thursday showing a naked couple having sex — with the man looking at a computer screen while the woman writhes on top.
The laptop on his chest shows a shot of Argentine President Javier Milei’s much-talked-about speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday.
“So hot rn,” Musk wrote in the caption. The letters “rn” stand for “right now.”
The meme is meant to convey the idea that Milei’s speech was stimulating to the point where it can act as an aphrodisiac.
In his remarks, Milei warned that the Western world needed to embrace capitalism.
“Today, I’m here to tell you that the Western world is in danger,” Milei said Wednesday in a special address in the Swiss resort town.
“And it is in danger because those who are supposed to have to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism, and thereby to poverty.”
Milei, the 53-year-old self-described anarcho-capitalist who was elected in November, tore into the dangers of “collectivist experiments, which he called the “root cause” of the problems afflicting much of the world.
“Socialism is a phenomenon that creates poverty,” he said, adding that “free enterprise capitalism is the only tool we have to end hunger and poverty.”
Musk, the owner of the site formerly known as Twitter, called the speech a “good explanation of what makes countries more or less prosperous.”
Milei, who has drawn comparisons to former President Donald Trump, made his first overseas trip as president to Davos.
In order to burnish his credentials as an anti-establishment populist, he took selfies with passengers aboard a commercial flight to Switzerland.
At home he is battling to fix Argentina’s worst economic crisis in decades with an austerity package that he hopes can tame annual inflation above 200%, build up foreign currency reserves now in the red and lure back investment.
While he has moderated after a brash election campaign where he often wielded a chainsaw to reflect his plans to slash the size of the state, Milei has stood by some of his more extreme pledges including plans to eventually shut the central bank.
