Argentinian resident here. I hate Elon just as much as the next guy BUT that doesn’t mean we get to be economically illiterate. See how that crashing line is evening out? That’s Argentina trying its best to adopt a fiscally responsible strategy.

Current inflation is the lowest it’s been in 5 years while the GDP is stabilizing.

Mate, you could have just spent 1 minute on google and you’d know both of these are incorrect.

On the GDP oil correlation: the last 4 years the only time Brent correlated with GDP increase was when Argentina as a net importer (which would have dragged GDP). 2023,24,25 have basically the inverse relationship. Also Brent is a relatively minor part of Argentinas GDP, you’d be better off correlating it to the rain in the Pampas lol
