Argentinian President Javier Milei Gifts Elon Musk a DOGE Chainsaw, Later Spotted on the CPAC Stage

Milei came onto the stage carrying a large black and red chainsaw, which he gave to Musk - who waved it around, shouting "The chainsaw of democracy! Chainsaw! Wooo!"

A harrowing video shows Musk swinging the chainsaw around, then bringing it on stage before he began speaking, sitting down for an interview with Rob Schmitt from Newsmax. "This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy," he shouted. "Chainsaw!"

During his 2023 campaign, Milei held up a chainsaw during a political rally as he promised to cut government waste and address the country’s inflation crisis. Musk, who has been preaching a similar message in the U.S., has been advising President Donald Trump on areas to drastically cut government spending.
