Thiel has met President Milei on multiple occasions, including a visit to the Casa Rosada Presidential Palace, where the pair discussed political and economic ideas aligned with their shared libertarian outlook, The New York Times reported.

Milei later described one meeting as “wonderful,” saying both men view “taxes as theft,” according to The Buenos Aires Times.

Rather than focusing on specific deals, Milei said the conversation centered on shared ideology and long-term political direction.

“He is an anarcho-capitalist, just as I am philosophically,” the president said, adding that Thiel asked how those ideas could endure beyond his administration.
