Headline: Musk Receives 'Bureaucracy Chainsaw' from Argentine President
In a recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held in Washington DC, Argentine President Javier Milei presented Elon Musk with a chainsaw. Musk enthusiastically brandished the chainsaw on stage, remarking that it represents "the chainsaw for bureaucracy". The power tool was inscribed with 'Viva la libertad, carajo', meaning 'Long live liberty, damn it' in Spanish.
Milei had previously used the chainsaw as a prop during his successful 2023 presidential campaign, a metaphor for his substantial reduction of state spending in Argentina.
