Argentina’s President Javier Milei is traveling through California’s Silicon Valley this week, eager to establish relationships with some of America’s top tech leaders and researchers.

The eccentric libertarian leader’s agenda includes meetings with Apple’s Tim Cook, Google’s Sundar Pichai, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, director of Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.

After meeting Mr. Altman, Mr. Milei shared a photo on social media platforms Wednesday with the caption “Viva la libertad carajo,” which roughly means “long live freedom, dammit.”

Also Wednesday, the Argentine president visited Stanford to huddle with Ms. Rice and the university’s leadership and to deliver remarks at Hoover, a think tank focused on limited government and free market economics.

He was then to get together with Mr. Pichai and Mr. Cook, according to a post shared by Mr. Milei on X.

Later that day he’s delivering remarks at the Bay Area Council, a business association in San Francisco. The council said Mr. Milei will talk about important connections between Argentina and the Bay Area’s tech and innovation sector.

In previous trips to the U.S., Mr. Milei has cultivated a friendship with X owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The duo met at Mr. Musk’s Tesla factory in Texas last month.

The rendezvous between Mr. Milei and Mr. Musk was like “love at first sight,” Gerardo Werthein, Mr. Milei’s choice to be Argentina’s ambassador in Washington, told the Spanish newspaper El Pais.

Mr. Milei has similarly courted American conservatives and cozied up to former President Donald Trump. Mr. Milei spoke at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland in February and hugged Mr. Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

Some of America’s proponents of free markets will soon reciprocate and head to Argentina to seek Mr. Milei’s expertise. The libertarian Cato Institute is helping organize a conference in Buenos Aires with the president in two weeks.

The Cato Institute is billing the event as a gathering of classical liberals working to “propose ways to limit power, restore the rule of law and safeguard individual liberty.”
