Billionaire Elon Musk took the stage Thursday at the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. Musk was welcomed to the far-right gathering by Argentina’s President Javier Milei, who gifted Musk with a chainsaw to celebrate DOGE’s efforts to shrink the federal workforce while gutting entire government agencies.

Elon Musk: “Arghhhh! This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy! Chainsaw!”

Also appearing at CPAC on Thursday were Vice President JD Vance and Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson.
