Elon Musk sees himself as a visionary. He wants to change our civilization as we know it today.
The serial entrepreneur promises that soon humans will be living on Mars. He made it the centerpiece of his vision of humanity.
While he waits to make this spectacular promise, the Techno King, as he is known at Tesla, wants to fill the global leadership vacuum that currently exists. He sees himself as a global patronage figure. He comments on almost all events and problems that have planetary consequences or that can upset geopolitical, economic and social balances.
Reduce dependence on the US dollar
He also sees himself as the voice of the people. People who feel ignored by elites. He wants to forge a strong bond with these people. Thus, he has made Twitter polls the best way to consult these people and show them that he listens to them.
Host polls on Twitter about important decisions you face. This was the case recently when he vowed to abide by the results of a poll asking whether he should step down as CEO of Twitter.
A few days later, Musk announced his resignation, effective once a replacement has been found.
Twitter is a country without borders for billionaires. He sees the platform as the global agora. This is the way to address people in most countries. Therefore, he wants to use it to cement his place in history and further increase his influence, even if sometimes at the cost of controversy.
For him, even negative criticism is good to accept, as it contributes to making him the center of discussions. There are very few issues in which Musk does not dabble.
The billionaire has just given the go-ahead to Brazil and Argentina, who are thinking of creating a common currency.
Brazil and Argentina will announce this week the start of preparatory work for the creation of a common currency, the Financial Times reported on January 22, citing officials from both countries. The goal is to build a currency that can boost regional trade and reduce dependence on the US dollar.
“There will be (…) a decision to start studying the necessary parameters for a common currency, which includes issues ranging from budgetary issues to the weight of the economy (of each country) through the role of central banks,” Argentine El Economy Minister Sergio Massa told the newspaper.
‘Good idea’
Officials from the two countries will hold discussions this week at a summit in Buenos Aires.
Musk believes that a common currency between the two countries is a good idea and has just made it known.
“It’s probably a good idea,” the billionaire commented on Jan. 22.
We do not know what this potential coin will be called. Some have mentioned the “real peso” or “real peso”, a name that is a combination of the current currencies of Argentina and Brazil.
Brazil suggests that this currency be called “sur” (the south), according to the Financial Times.
The idea came up in 2019 but was rejected by the Brazilian central bank at the time. The idea is to create a common currency that will withstand external monetary and economic shocks and help stabilize a region highly dependent on foreign capital flows.
The Brazilian real and the Portuguese peso are two currencies that are particularly vulnerable to the international context because the two countries depend on their exports of raw materials. They may be seriously affected by the rise in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve.
The new common currency project could later be extended to other Latin American countries.
