"The billionaire's Thiel Macro LLC hedge fund bought around 1.2 million American Depositary Shares in Vista worth about $76 million, according to the SEC filing, equivalent to 1% of Vista's capital."
"Milei has expressed his intention to leverage Patagonia's vast open spaces and cold climate to build data centers."
These people have no soul.

Also it's an oil firm, and Trump has already shown fondness towards the Argentinian government. I think the US is going to start pushing the UK to abandon its claim on the Falklands - which incidentally is the location of a massive oil field.

That was my first thought, but palantir is honestly probably weirder. It’s almost like naming an ai company Skynet.
