Again, Javier Milei starred in a dissertation in front of businessmen, this time from the technology and digital finance. It was about Tech Forum Argentinawhere a business round, a dinner with government representatives and digital entrepreneurs and an exclusive celebration were scheduled in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Puerto Madero.
In a dispersion of the speech, he referred to the death of Gines González García: “A sinister, unpresentable and repugnant being. Complicit in the largest cave quarantine in history and responsible, along with Alberto Fernández, for 100,000 Argentine deaths.” “This was a son of a bitch and that’s how he will be remembered,” he concluded.
The President was the main speaker at the event held at the Hotel Libertador, which included the participation of Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of the Ethereum platform and CEO of Cardano, Vitalik Buterin also co-founder of Ethereum. Among the national representatives, the presence of Romina Guirado (Blockchain Federal Argentina), Sebastián Reckinger (IBM), Martín Sciarrillo (Microsoft) and Leandro Ruiz (Google), among other managers and developers, stands out.
Technology is an agenda that the President has been promoting in search of developments in the country: in addition to his well-known meetings with Elon Musk, he has already held meetings in the United States with other top businessmen in the technology sector, such as the CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg; the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai; Apple CEO Timothy Cook; and the CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman.
On the other hand, next Tuesday Javier Milei will open the meeting “Country Strategy” of the World Economic Forumin which transnational firms and Argentine business leaders will meet. Under the name “Country Strategy Meeting on Argentina”, the event will have the presidential presence in addition to that of the ministers Federico Sturzenegger, Luis Caputo and Diana Mondino.
Speech by Javier Milei at the Tech Forum Argentina
At the beginning of his speech, the President highlighted the concept of “creative destruction“: “Everything that is new always generates fear, that is why many politicians are afraid of the unknown.” “There is no need to be afraid of economic progress; Jobs will be destroyed, but new ones will be created. Therefore that is not a problem, as long as there is flexibility in the labor market,” he added and understood that “politicians like control and not flexibility.”
“Technological progress generates increasing returns and there is a problem that is that economic theory is not appropriately developed to contemplate these events, and consequently when they see increasing returns they relate it to monopolies and want to regulate it,” he analyzed. Mileiwhich was defined as “techno-optimist”.
The president relied on a written text from which he departed on multiple occasions, such as when he referred to abortion: “The green murderers who are going around, neo-Marxists who raise the problem of man with nature, and They want to fix the world by killing innocents, call them the abortionists.“.
Upon resuming his reading, he said: “Each technological innovation is one more step that man has taken to solve a problem, allowing himself to have leisure time to solve the next one.” “Necessity is the mother of invention“, he continued and stated that “Entrepreneurs are social benefactors“.
