Argentine President Javier Milei has given Elon Musk a chainsaw as a symbolic gesture reflecting their shared commitment to cutting government bureaucracy and public spending.
Musk, a close ally of US President Donald Trump tasked with slashing federal government spending, appeared at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) outside Washington on Thursday, waving the chainsaw above his head.
The audience at the convention center erupted in applause and gave the Tesla and SpaceX CEO a standing ovation as he took the stage alongside Milei wearing a black MAGA baseball cap and mirrored sunglasses.
“This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy!” Musk exclaimed, brandishing the power tool, which was engraved with Milei’s campaign slogan, “Viva la libertad, carajo” (“Long live freedom, damn it!”).
