Is Argentina the new Florida because Palantir is destroying America?

It has been a prime destination for nazis for a long time. I guess they have a friendly government now.

But I heard Thiel say Elon said USA is the only place left.

Can you describe what your idea of a “hacker” and their associated interests might be?
