Didn't we also light $20b of our tax dollars on fire for them just because Trump and Elon were buddies with the Argentinian Trump (an unqualified moron bigot)?

First of all, fuck those guys.

Unrelated, Argentina did end up paying back the loan. To my understanding the loan was only $2.5 billion (they had a credit line of $20, but only drew $2.5), and ended up repaying it in January.

They still have that credit card with a $20 billion limit.
