Elon Musk brandished a chainsaw on stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday, calling it “the chainsaw for bureaucracy” as he backed Donald Trump’s sweeping government reforms.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk took the stage at CPAC wielding a chainsaw, handed to him by Argentina’s President Javier Milei, in a theatrical show of support for cutting federal bureaucracy. The two are set to meet with Trump and IMF officials during Milei’s visit to Washington.
Musk has been tasked with leading the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an initiative launched by Trump after returning to the presidency last month. The program has already resulted in thousands of job cuts and the dismantling of several federal programs, as part of Trump's broader effort to curb what he calls excessive government spending.
Musk, a vocal critic of government regulations, has embraced the role, promising to drive further reductions in federal agencies. His appointment signals Trump’s push for a more business-driven approach to governance, with a focus on efficiency and cost-cutting.
Milei, known for his libertarian economic policies, has also slashed government spending in Argentina, aligning him ideologically with Trump and Musk. His meeting with Trump and Musk is expected to focus on economic collaboration and deregulation.
The CPAC event underscored the Republican Party’s emphasis on reducing government size, with Musk’s chainsaw stunt symbolizing the administration’s aggressive approach to bureaucracy reform.
