Ricardo Salinas Pliego said on Wednesday that he met with Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. He later posted on X and shared images from the Casa Presidencial, tying the meeting to security, education, investment and bitcoin.
Salinas Pliego on security and AI
Salinas Pliego wrote: “Platicamos ampliamente de lo que en México el gobierno no quiere hablar: Seguridad y justicia de verdad. Educación con agentes de IA. Inversión en energía. El futuro del dinero y el papel del bitcoin como el mejor dinero” — Ricardo Salinas Pliego. He also said the meeting covered security and justice, education with agents of AI, investment in energy, and the future of money.
He added that El Salvador is one of the safest countries in the world and cited 1.3 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants from official 2025 figures. In the same post, he said children in El Salvador are making educational progress that surprises the world.
Casa Presidencial and the images
The images Salinas Pliego shared place the meeting inside the Casa Presidencial, turning a social-media post into the only public record of the encounter. For readers watching the business and policy angle, that leaves the substance in the quote itself: security and justice, education with agents of AI, investment in energy, and bitcoin as “el mejor dinero.”
Salinas Pliego also wrote: “¿Por qué allá sí se puede? Porque @nayibbukele es capaz, honesto y dice la verdad” — Ricardo Salinas Pliego. The praise, alongside his citation of the 2025 homicide figure, is the sharpest claim in the post, but the meeting itself remains defined by what he chose to disclose, not by any separate policy statement from El Salvador.
The next step is not a formal summit or announcement. It is whether either Ricardo Salinas Pliego or Nayib Bukele turns this exchange into a concrete proposal on security, education, investment or bitcoin, or leaves it as a public political endorsement carried on X.
A related note on Nayib Bukele in El Salvador appears elsewhere in the archive.
