Elon Musk took the CPAC stage by storm on Thursday — decked out in a “Dark MAGA” outfit and wielding a prop chainsaw to signify the Department of Government Efficiency’s financial cuts to the federal government.
President of Argentina Javier Milei gifted the world’s richest man the chromed-out chainsaw ahead of Musk’s sit-down interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference, in Maryland, on Thursday evening.

Melei handed Musk the power tool while on stage — with the DOGE chief then triumphantly holding the chainsaw above his head in a macho gesture to the conservative crowd.
“This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy!” Musk declared, adding simply, “Chainsaw!”
