It is undeniable that Elon Musk remained at the center of the news, as happened in 2022; and he was because of the scandals, his statements and the technological advances that his companies presented.
At the beginning of the year, he announced the change of Twitter’s name and logo, now He eliminated those that did not pay, then returned a few in the middle of a tug-of-war that generated confusion and unease (a competition was even born, Threads, from another technology magnate Mark Zuckerberg without much success).

In his space career, he had a failed mission: the Starship, from Space FDA to have the brain implants they are working on approved for testing in humans, but also faced accusations after the deaths of several monkeys due to said implants.
He wanted to stop Artificial Intelligence by signing a letter calling for a pause in innovation linked to AI, but later it was learned that he got fully into it with his new company xAI.
On a personal level, he openly addressed, in an interview with the New York Times, the challenges he has faced in his life, especially in relation to his mental health. She publicly shared that he suffers from Asperger Syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder, and confessed that he lives with certain “demons” in his mind.
Always controversial and transgressive, Elon Musk will undoubtedly continue generating news by 2024, for better and worse, at least that is what experts predict.
Two and a half years ago, no one gave any weight to the idea that a television personality like Javier Milei would become the President of Argentina, much less with such radical proposals. But the ballot boxes and Argentines’ fatigue with the government and especially with the management of the economy, led him to gain popular favor.
A 53-year-old libertarian economist, he promised to go through state spending with a “chainsaw” and he believed that he began to apply it once he took the reins in the Casa Rosada. Without mediating constitutional reforms and bypassing other powers, Milei issued a decree that contains a giant shock to the Argentine economy and presented to Congress a package of law modifications that will allow, among other things, the privatization of more than 40 public companies, limitations to the right to demonstrate and the repeal of consumer protection against abusive price increases, when annual inflation exceeds 160% and 40% of the population lives in poverty.
His radical hand initially devalued the currency by more than 50% and he hopes that with his package of economic measures, public spending will reach the equivalent of 5% of GDP.

The Argentines who brought him to power do not seem very willing to give in so abruptly and staged demonstrations in the streets because they do not understand how these reforms can guarantee them a better quality of life when today they have the noose around their necks. But Milei, who is nicknamed “El Peluca”, does not get upset with these winds of unpopularity and very surely against all odds he will continue to apply his radical proposals that remain a mystery for a country that needs a leader to get it out of economic troubles. and the downward spiral in which it has been immersed for just under a decade.
