Elon Musk, the billionaire known for his role in reducing U.S. federal government spending, made headlines at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held in National Harbor, Maryland, on Thursday. During his appearance, Musk showcased a unique gift he received from Argentina's libertarian President Javier Milei: a chainsaw.
"This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy," Musk declared as he held the power tool aloft, capturing the attention of attendees. The striking red chainsaw, presented to Musk earlier in the day, bore an engraving of Milei's bold Spanish slogan: "Viva la libertad, carajo," which translates to "Long live freedom, damn it!"
Musk's symbolic gesture highlights his commitment to streamlining government processes, resonating with the conference's themes of limited government and individual liberty.
