X (formerly Twitter) intervened in the Argentine election to help Javier Milei win, thereby preventing Argentina from joining BRICS.
I thought it was very interesting the role that Twitter or Axe played. In the recent Argentine election, as you know, Javier Malay was recently elected just last fall in Argentina. And it was before Javier Malay was elected that Argentina was going to accede to the BRICS alliance, the Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa alliance, along with five or six other states. I think Egypt, the Emirates, Iran were a few of them. And Javier Malay getting into office with the conspicuous intervention of X is what allowed Javier Malay to cancel that accession of Argentina to BRICS.
