BUENOS AIRES : Argentina’s libertarian President Javier Milei is seeking a hook-up through Tinder: with global Big Tech.
The former economist pundit posted on Wednesday that he had spoken with dating app Tinder co-founder Sean Rad to set up a tech summit, part of a wider drive by Milei to rally business interest in Argentina from the oil sector to tech and mining.
“I just had a conference call with @seanrad, founder of Tinder, and we have agreed to have a meeting in Buenos Aires with other great entrepreneurs from the technological world,” he wrote on social media platform X.
Milei won a shock election last year pledging to tear up the rule book to get Argentina out of its worst economic crisis in decades, with a deep fiscal deficit, annual inflation currently over 200 per cent and with more than two-fifths of people in poverty.
Milei, whose free-market libertarian views have gained plaudits from global business leaders including X owner Elon Musk, is trying to turn around an economic contraction estimated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at 2.8 per cent this year.
Dating app Tinder is owned by Match Group Inc.
