Tech executive Elon Musk and Argentine President Javier Milei have sealed their budding bromance at a Tesla electric car factory in Texas — their first meeting after months of mutual admiration on social media. In posts that thrilled their right-wing fans, the pair played up their real-life friendship on Friday.
