Milei gifts Musk personalized DOGE chainsaw at CPAC

Elon Musk made a notable appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where he defended himself against accusations of being a Kremlin asset, humorously asserting that Vladimir Putin couldn't afford him. During the event, he received a personalized chainsaw from Argentine President Javier Milei, who presented it as a symbol of their shared goal to cut government waste and bureaucracy. Musk enthusiastically waved the chainsaw, declaring it the 'chainsaw for bureaucracy,' while praising Milei's fiscal policies, which have included significant cuts to government spending. The two leaders have built a rapport, with Musk expressing interest in Argentina's lithium reserves and the possibility of promoting their shared ideals in a future event. Their ongoing collaboration reflects a growing alliance between the libertarian president and the tech billionaire. The event and their meeting underscore their commitment to deregulation and combating traditional economic ideologies.
