Tech Magnate Peter Thiel Strengthens Ties with Argentine President Milei in Buenos Aires Buenos Aires - Apr 23, 2026 - 11:36CEST Peter Thiel, the tech billionaire and founder of Palantir and PayPal, has intensified his engagement with Argentine President Javier Milei during his recent visit to the capital. Thiel, whose net worth exceeds $23 billion, has been in Buenos Aires for at least a week, participating in high-level meetings and public events. His scheduled private meeting with Milei on April 23 marks one of the president’s first activities after returning from an official trip to Israel. This encounter follows prior meetings in January 2024 at the Casa Rosada, May 2024 at the Milken Institute forum in Los Angeles, and another in Buenos Aires. Thiel’s activities in Argentina include dining with Santiago Caputo, Milei’s influential adviser, and meeting with Federico Sturzenegger, the minister of deregulation and state transformation. He also attended the River Plate versus Boca Juniors soccer derby at the Monumental Stadium, where River Plate secured a narrow victory. Local media reports indicate Thiel and his family are staying in a luxurious home in Barrio Parque, an area known for its embassy residences and mansions. Thiel’s recent public engagement includes a post on Palantir’s social media account summarizing the core ideas of his book The Technological Republic. The text critiques “the limits of soft power” and advocates for the development of artificial-intelligence weapons, arguing that nations must prioritize technological advancement over diplomatic discourse. It also claims that “the atomic age is ending” and that a new era of deterrence based on AI is imminent.#palantir #javier_milei #peter_thiel #river_plate #buenos_aires
