The EPIC Moment Javier Milei Gifts Elon Musk His Chainsaw!


Elon Musk has become synonymous with CUTTING and PRUNING all the waste and corruption from the “tree” of the federal government.

Another guy, Javier Milei, is famous in his own right as the Argentinian predecessor of DOGE.

When Milei came to power in a shocking victory back in 2023, he did so on a platform of cutting the overspending of socialistic leaders who had come before him.

Fittingly then, he raised and revved a chainsaw on the night of his victory — an image captured in the imaginations of all who long for a true political pushback against the overspending of runaway governments.

Milei has found a kindred spirit in that of Elon Musk, who he appeared with during the CPAC event held earlier this evening.

And Milei — ever the grandstanding master of drama and timing — presented Elon with a chainsaw of his own!

Elon’s awkwardness on stage always makes me cringe for about 2 seconds… and then I remember how much I love the fact that he’s NOT A POLITICIAN.

The man is all about IMPACT and EFFECTIVNESS.  And I appreciate the fact that he doesn’t let his own social awkwardness get in the way of that.

He simply embraces it… with all the gusto of a 5 year old.  That scares all the democrats.  But me?  I love it!

Watch the moment Elon comes out at CPAC garbed as DARK MAGA… followed by the Argentine President, Milei:

Here’s the full screen backup video:

If that’s not an iconic image… I’m not sure what is!

When you picture office buildings full of cubicles and government inefficiency, with unexcited and dull people bored to death by the mundane inactivity of the paperwork and digital screens before them…

THAT IS NOT THIS.

This is the image of a PASSION to CUT WASTE, to disentangle a nation from the financial weight which encumbers it, and to return accountability and COMMON SENSE to the financial state of a nation.

It’s not a scalpel.  It’s not a handsaw.  It’s not a chisel.  It’s a freakin’ chainsaw… for a reason.

The chainsaw almost makes you forget all about Elon’s grand garb!  Dark MAGA is definitely in style!

Elon covered quite a few topics after the chainsaw dramatics, including DOGE and the media, according to an article covering the event by Fox News:

Donning his “Dark Gothic MAGA” hat, a black coat and sunglasses, and wielding a chainsaw, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk made a surprise appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Thursday evening.

Musk spoke on a wide range of topics, including the latest DOGE updates, the Democratic and media hatred towards him and the importance of reducing waste and abuse in the federal government.

He also mentioned that he is in talks with President Donald Trump about issuing tax refunds to U.S. citizens from the money saved by DOGE.

At the start of his speech, the DOGE chief was joined by Argentinian President Javier Milei, who is also known for dramatically slashing the size of government in his country. The two men wielded a chainsaw hearkening back to a viral video of Milei and symbolizing their shared goals of cutting down government waste.

“I wasn’t really that interested in being political. It’s just like there was at a certain point no choice,” Musk explained. “The actions that we’re taking, with the support of the president and the support of the agencies, is what will save Medicare, what will save Social Security.”

“That’s the reason I’m doing this,” he said. “Because I was looking at the big picture here and it’s like, man, it’s getting out of control.”

“A country is no different from a person,” he went on. “[A] Country overspends, a country goes bankrupt in the same way as a person who overspends usually goes bankrupt. So, it’s not like optional to solve these things, it’s essential.”

Check out the awesome moment Javier Milei and Elon Musk met backstage before the big reveal on stage.

Just two guys, hanging out, talking about cutting out government overspending.

With a big@ss chainsaw!

Before Milei was the “Argentine Trump” (yes, they nicknamed him that) he was the frontman of a classic rock band, according to a different Fox News story:

In a nation as famed for its beef, wine, tango and economic mismanagement, the iconoclastic libertarian Javier Milei has sent shivers down the spines of the Argentine left and center-right alike since his surprising first-place showing in last month’s primary elections.

Although he rejects the term, there is no denying Trumpian elements in the anti-establishment rage that is fueling the shocking rise of the Argentine congressman to the status of front-runner in the South American nation’s Oct. 22 presidential election.

A former frontman of a classic rock band with an outrageous mane of hair, he has also been waging a verbal war with fellow Argentine, Pope Francis, who he has described as someone “who preaches Communism.”

“I have a clear agenda, which goes against everything that is socialism or communism,” he said. “Everyone who is against socialism or communism is on the side I am on. This is my guiding principle, then we can have all the differences you want.”

There’s nothing like watching a passing-of-the-chainsaw ceremony.

Since that first event after his 2023 win, when Milei waved the chainsaw around as a symbolic theatric to throw attention to his “chainsaw agenda” of cutting government spending…

His chainsaw has become a peaceful symbol for many Argentines who appreciate the pushback it represents from socialism in their country.

One Argentinian described it as simply pruning a garden, according to an Associated Press news story:

Most have viewed Milei’s rage as mere histrionics and a strategy for bypassing the traditional process of lauching a candidacy, although some find it more disconcerting.

Milei’s chainsaw is peaceful, says Sebastián Borrego, a 51-year-old who traveled from a small city south of Buenos Aires to attend his rally Wednesday. He views it as a tool, like those he uses in his own garden.

“Pruning is a part of what it means to bring about transformation in the country … cutting off parts that aren’t useful,” said Borrego.

Besides the chainsaw theatrics, Elon apparently promised in advance to go dressed for the occasion as the popular DOGE meme depicts him.

Gold chain.  Black leather jacket.  Dark shades.

And he did not disappoint.

Not only did he show up to CPAC donning the DOGE Dark Maga look…

But he immediately trolled those who claim the world’s richest man is all about accessing federal systems in order to steal some of that government dough.

Dark MAGA, Javier Milei’s gifted chainsaw, and fresh trolling for the democrats; that’s a CPAC worth watching.

Here’s to hoping Elon loans that chainsaw to Kash Patel… so he can walk right through the front doors of the FBI for the first time… ready to do a little pruning of his own!

That’s one photo op that would be sure to leave the democrats’ heads spinning!
