(Reuters) - Argentine President Javier Milei is set to visit a Tesla factory in Texas and meet with the firm's chief executive Elon Musk on Saturday, presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni told reporters on Tuesday.
Argentina is the world's fourth-largest producer of lithium, a critical component to the batteries that power Tesla's electric vehicles.
Musk has expressed an affinity in the past for Milei and his libertarian politics, posting on his messaging platform X that "prosperity is ahead for Argentina," following Milei's election in November.
