Musk wields his Doge chainsaw - but is a backlash brewing?

21 February 2025

Wearing a black "Make America Great Again" hat and dark sunglasses, Elon Musk - the multi-billionaire tasked by Donald Trump with taking a metaphorical chainsaw to the federal government - received a rock-star welcome as he took the stage at a right-wing gathering on Thursday.

He even had a literal chainsaw.

As the crowd of several thousand cheered, Argentine President Javier Milei, also a favourite at the annual Cpac event, emerged from backstage. He handed Musk a shiny chainsaw with "viva la Libertad carajo! – Spanish for "Long live liberty, damn it!"- emblazoned on the blade.

Musk waved the power tool high, shouting: "This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy! Chainsaw!"
