Elon Musk leaves CPAC carrying a red chainsaw, symbolizing the cuts DOGE is making to the government

Argentine President Javier Milei delivered a chainsaw to the stage for Elon Musk as the Conservative Political Action Conference delivered its first full day of speakers for its annual conference.

Musk, who is leading President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency cost-cutting task force, called the prop a “chainsaw for bureaucracy.”

CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp opened the conference Thursday by asking the crowd at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Oxon Hill, Maryland, “Are you glad that America is back on track?”

And Vice President JD Vance kicked off a busy schedule of speakers, telling the moderator, “It’s hard to believe we’ve only been in office for a month, because I think we’ve done more in a month than (former President Joe) Biden did in about four years.”
