Exactly, Netanyahu is contentious on BOTH sides of the political aisle. You're advertising to an ever decreasing spectrum of the right. Beyond the moral objections over this, I'm just confused how this happened from a PR perspective.
As an Argentinian, Israel/Netanyahu are generally well received (because of many people with Jewish heritage) by people in the center/right, even people in the left spectrum will be reticent about criticizing if they come from a Jewish family. The echo chamber is very real if you only watch right-leaning TV channels for example (most of them).
Pure speculation from now on, but afaik Guillermo lives in the USA, and as the CEO of an international company I'm also surprised he's so tone deaf but it's not the only example (i.e. check Galperin's Twitter feed). I don't think it's about sending a message I think Guillermo probably follows Argentinian media/politics and fell for the echo chamber, he also wanted to look cool/important for Milei.
And he probably doesn't think the Elon Musk's hail Hitler gestures were a stupid move.
