Elon Musk wields Javier Milei’s Chainsaw at CPAC 25 to signal government cuts

He accused the Democrats of “treason.” He addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference, pledging to slash government spending and endorsing an audit of the Federal Reserve. 

Musk, now seen as President Donald Trump’s most influential adviser, slammed Biden’s immigration policies and specifically blasted an app that allowed one million people to enter the United States on two-year work permits.

Earlier, he met Argentine President Javier Milei, who handed him the chainsaw engraved with “Viva la libertad, carajo,” or “Long live liberty, d*mn it.” Musk dubbed it “the chainsaw for bureaucracy.” He also joked that Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele was concerned for his safety.

When asked about his mindset, Musk, who appeared wearing a trademark black hat with shades, described it simply: “My mind is a storm. It’s a storm.”

Steve Bannon followed on stage, drawing a more subdued response. “How did I draw the card to follow Elon Musk?” he joked. “I’m just a crazy Irishman!”
