Confirmed investments

Starlink: The satellite internet service, operated by Musk's company SpaceX, launched in Argentina in March 2024. It provides high-speed internet, especially for rural areas and regions with poor connectivity.

Potential areas of investment
Lithium for Tesla: Musk and Milei have discussed lithium investment opportunities for Tesla.

Argentina holds the world's third-largest lithium reserves, making it an attractive prospect for a company that manufactures electric vehicles.

SpaceX and tech projects: In September 2024, Musk posted on X that his companies were "actively looking for ways to invest in and support Argentina." This indicates that potential investments may extend beyond Tesla to include SpaceX or other ventures like xAI.
