Argentine President Gifts Elon Musk a Gilded Chainsaw
Political
Argentine President Javier Milei gifted Elon Musk a gold-plated chainsaw at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland, USA. Musk referred to it as a “chainsaw for bureaucracy.”
The chainsaw blade is engraved with the slogan “Viva la libertad, carajo,” which literally translates to “Long live freedom, damn it!” President Milei used this phrase as his campaign slogan during the 2021 parliamentary elections and the 2023 presidential election.
Reports indicate that the chainsaw is an exact replica of the one hanging in Milei’s office. During his campaign, he frequently brought a chainsaw to rallies to symbolize his commitment to cutting unnecessary government spending.
During the conversation, Musk explained how his political views had shifted. “When I realized I was a fool, my political beliefs changed,” he said. Musk also emphasized his financial independence, joking, “If I steal some Social Security money, I can finally buy nice things.”
