Like Elon, this guy's actions are not consistent with the based anarcho-capitalist libertarian image he wants to project.
Recent meetings with Bill Clinton and the IMF, his appointing the ex regional Deutsche/JP Morgan director as finance minister mean business as usual.
Don't be surprised if we start seeing debt-for-land swaps with the IMF and other kinds of asset-stripping fuckery.
@UncleIroh like Trump's first term, Milei doesn't have absolute god king authority over the government and has to deal with bureaucracy and other politicians who have to approve of his plans.

I don't know the bureaucracy of El Salvador, but that's the closest we've seen to a king being elected to do what needs to be done, & so he does. But the circumstances there were dire.
