I have no desire if to influence if people side with or against Milei. If you want to follow him, by all means go for it.

I am however, still going to mock obviously bat shit insane ideas, and telepathically speaking with your cloned dogs for policy advice is absolutely bat shit insane

It would be if it was true.

He apparently did clone his dogs but can you point to the source material (in this case Milei) about speaking with them telepathically?

This just sounds super made up.

I've listen to his interview with Lex F. and his WEF speech and he sounded like a principled free market advocate. Not a single thing he said was crazy so I wonder where did you get this factoid.

Milei has certainly been smeared as right-wing so I wouldn't be surprised with other smears as well.

It's not made up.

He's said so in speeches I've listened to. He claims his dog Conan (deceased) gives him advice from the Beyond. You can also google the myriad of interviews with him that mention this (and note: not all of them are critical, some found this touch of craziness endearing!).

He also claims his dogs (all clones of his revered Conan) are his "children", because they are the only "people" -- along with his sister -- "who will not betray him". Note that very few people have seen these dogs alive (very few recent photos or videos), and there's concern they may also be providing him comfort from "the Great Beyond". He gets enraged if people question him about this.

The guy is mentally unstable.

Sadly, in this case the truth is stranger than fiction.
