Billionaire Elon Musk, who’s now holding the position of head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been making plenty of headlines over the years, but his latest stunt had even his greatest supporters baffled.
On Thursday, at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), along with the Argentine president Javier Milei, Musk waived a chainsaw previously used in a similar stunt by Milei.
In fact, Musk was sending a message about cutting the expenses. In fact, his goal is to eliminate what he considers wasteful use of taxpayers’ money, and in order to achieve this, he has started efforts to significantly cut down the federal workforce.
In the past, Milei, who handed the chainsaw to Musk, used the same tool during rallies while pledging to slash public spending. He even got the nickname the ‘chainsaw president.’
The shiny chainsaw had the words “viva la Libertad carajo! – Spanish for “Long live liberty, damn it!” – emblazoned on the blade.
Musk could be heard shouting, “This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy! Chainsaw!”
He added: “DOGE started out as a meme. And now it’s real.”
While Musk was busy with his little stunt, Grimes, his ex and a mother to three of his children, made a public post asking Musk to contact her regarding a “medical crisis” involving one of their children.
“Plz respond about our child’s medical crisis. I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention,” Grimes wrote on X.
“If you don’t want to talk to me can you please designate or hire someone who can so that we can move forward on solving this. This is urgent, Elon.”
She didn’t write exactly what the “medical crisis” involved, but explained that if Musk continued to ignore her, the child could “suffer life long impairment.”
Grimes post was later deleted.
