He looks insane, was 1st thought on seeing the photo



then saw some support for that

"Milei ended up with four 200-pound English mastiffs: Milton, Murray, Robert and Lucas, all genetic copies of their “father” Conan (after the barbarian). That dog, Milei’s closest companion, died in 2017 but remains a central figure in the president’s life.

One biography of Milei — titled El loco, or the crazy one — claims he still communicates with Conan through a mystic.

The dogs have been objects of public fascination with Milei, whose unusual hairdo and chainsaw-wielding campaign appearances captured as much global attention as his severe economic prescription for Argentina.

Whoever chose the names, they reflect his passionate embrace of free-market policy — Friedman’s aversion to government intervention in the economy, Rothbard’s libertarianism, Lucas’s rationalism.

I didn't know Musk's chainsaw theater was thanks to Milei

Elon Musk waves 'bureaucracy chainsaw' gifted by Argentina

Argentina's President Javier Milei gifted Elon Musk a chainsaw during the Conservative
Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington DC on Thursday.

Waving the chainsaw above his head on stage, Musk told attendees it was "the chainsaw for bureaucracy".

The chainsaw was engraved with 'Viva la libertad, carajo', Spanish for 'Long live liberty, damn it'.

Milei famously wielded the power tool during his successful 2023 run for Argentina's presidency - a symbol of the deep cuts he has made to the country's state spending.

Aside: For future search purposes the post you replied to is known for now as one shelf in the Yarvin Milei Trump library.

PS: Was trying to recall why the name Raghuram Rajan felt familiar,

Raghuram Govind Rajan (born 3 February 1963) is an Indian economist and the Katherine Dusak Miller Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.[1][2][3][4] He served as the Chief Economist of the International Monetary Fund from 2003 to 2006 and the 23rd Governor of the Reserve Bank of India from 2013 to 2016.[3] In 2015, during his tenure at the RBI, he became the Vice-Chairman of the Bank for International Settlements.[5]

At the 2005 Federal Reserve annual Jackson Hole conference, three years before the 2008 financial crisis, Rajan warned about the growing risks in the financial system, that a financial crisis could be in the offing, and proposed policies that would reduce such risks.[6] Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers called the warnings "misguided" and Rajan himself a "luddite".[7] However, after the 2008 financial crisis, Rajan's views came to be seen as prescient, and he was extensively interviewed for the Academy Awards-winning documentary Inside Job (2010).

In 2003, Rajan received the inaugural Fischer Black Prize, given every two years by the American Finance Association to the financial economist younger than 40 who has made the most significant contribution to the theory and practice of finance. His book, Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy, won the Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year award in 2010. In 2016, he was named by Time in its list of the '100 Most Influential People in the World'.[8][9]

guess that's why.

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
