 Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, famous for transforming the most dangerous country in the Western Hemisphere into the second safest nation in the Americas (only behind Canada), met with Elon Musk at Tesla's headquarters in Texas, where they discussed investment opportunities in the country.

As I mentioned a few days ago, the security and stability Bukele has brought to El Salvador is attracting investments, promising to turn the country into not only a very safe place but also an increasingly wealthy and industrialized nation.

As for Elon Musk, some analysts believe he may soon be forced by Brazil's Supreme Court, under Alexandre de Moraes, to exit the Brazilian market, but it seems El Salvador is ready to welcome him with open arms.

 Nayib Bukele said he wants to jail business owners that "price gouge" like he jailed gangsters, without a trial by jury.

No thanks. 
 El Salvador is pretty close to the Equator, and would be a pretty good place to launch rockets from.
