Elon Musk wields ‘chainsaw for bureaucracy’
- Thursday, 20 February 2025
Argentine President Javier Milei gifted Elon Musk a chainsaw at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., symbolizing Milei’s aggressive stance on cutting bureaucracy. Musk, waving the engraved chainsaw that read “Viva la libertad, carajo” (“Long live liberty, damn it”), called it “the chainsaw for bureaucracy.” The gesture referenced Milei’s 2023 presidential campaign, where he famously used a chainsaw to represent his drastic cuts to Argentina’s state spending.
