The entrepreneur Martin Varsavsky, known on social media for his positions in favor of a deep labor reform (such as 13-hour workdays), became the protagonist of a viral blooper after 'eating a fake news'. Indeed, the viral image replaced the face of Tesla and X's owner with that of the captain of the Argentine National Team. The entrepreneur's mistake sparked a wave of ridicule on the social network, where users joked about whether Varsavsky's 'troll center' deserved a 'termination without severance pay' — in reference to the reforms he himself promotes — for not detecting the obvious 'fake'. A man who took Argentine talent to the highest level in the world... and living proof that I can sometimes congratulate a lefty too'. Corrected by 'Community Notes' However, the post was quickly debunked by users and the platform itself through Community Notes. The image that Varsavsky took for authentic was actually a photomontage that had been circulating hours earlier in humor accounts. The clarifying note was unequivocal: 'The original photo is of Milei with Elon Musk in 2024'. The founder of Jazztel posted a doctored photo of President Javier Milei with Lionel Messi, which was instantly debunked. Varsavsky shared it on his X (formerly Twitter) account. An entrepreneur who dined with Milei hinted that the Argentine workday can be 13 hours: 'Negotiable'. An image showing Milei and Messi in dark suits with their thumbs up. He accompanied the photo with a political comment: 'Lionel Messi'.
