Elon Musk gifted a chainsaw from Argentina's President Javier Milei at CPAC
Milei, who shares Musk's views on cutting government spending, gave to Musk who then held the chainsaw above his head to a standing ovation, proclaiming: "This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy!"
In the month since President Donald Trump took office, Musk has energized Republicans as he’s worked to cut federal grants, reduce the size of the government workforce, and hobble agencies such as the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Energy joy. Over saving money on government. Like a fantasy film.
Bannon spoke immediately after Musk at CPAC, setting up the potential for a high-profile clash between two factions of the Republican Party at the annual gathering. But during his Thursday talk, Bannon largely pulled punches against Musk.
“How did I draw the card to follow Elon Musk? Come on, man,” he said, calling him “the world’s wealthiest guy” and “Superman.” In comparison, he added, “I’m just a crazy Irishman.”
