Elon Musk wields ‘chainsaw for bureaucracy’ on stage at CPAC to symbolize DOGE’s massive government cuts

Elon Musk made a big impression at the CPAC conference on Thursday, decked in a dark MAGA outfit and holding a chainsaw prop to represent the Department of Government Efficiency’s financial cuts for the federal government.
The President of Argentina Javier Milei presented the chromed out chainsaw to the world’s wealthiest man ahead of Musk’s sit-down interview with the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland on Thursday evening.
Melei gave Musk the power tool on stage. The DOGE chief held the chainsaw triumphantly above his head as a macho sign to the conservative audience.
Musk said, “This is a chainsaw for the bureaucracy!” He added, simply “Chainsaw!”

The blade of the saw is engraved with Milei’s catchphrase “Viva la Libertad Carajo!” which roughly translates as “Long Live Freedom, Goddammit!”
In a video uploaded to X, a cackling and ecstatic Melei gives a big hug to a sunglasses-wearing Musk — before presenting him with a symbolic cost-saving tool.
Musk posted a picture on his social media platform X, with the caption “This is a true picture.”
The DOGE project was inspired by Melei’s actions to cut government spending in Argentina. It aims to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse within executive branch agencies.
DOGE is facing legal challenges in the federal court of DC. The Trump administration claims that Musk isn’t an employee, even though he oversees the project.
Musk’s private life has its own problems, and they are all public. A woman recently came forward to claim that he was the father of her child.
One of Musk’s baby mamas Grimes is calling him out for ignoring an urgent health concern for their child.
The singer of “Oblivion,” took to X Thursday night to publicly criticize Musk for ignoring the “medical crisis” that their child had not disclosed.
Grimes said in a tweet that has since been deleted, “I’m sorry I did this publicly, but it’s no longer acceptable to ignore the situation.”
“This needs immediate attention.” Please hire or designate someone to speak with if you do not want to. “This is urgent, Elon,” wrote she.
Grimes said, “I won’t give any details, but he hasn’t responded to emails or texts and has missed every meeting. Our child will suffer lifelong disabilities if he does not respond asap. So I need him to respond f-king and if that means applying public pressure I guess we’re at this point,” Grimes said before deleting her public pleas.
Last week, Grimes publicly criticized Musk for bringing his son X to a press conference in the Oval Office.
“He shouldn’t be in public this way.” She wrote, “I didn’t see this. Thank you for alerting me,” on the platform when a fan informed her of the public show.
