Musk waves a chainsaw and charms conservatives talking up Trump’s cost-cutting efforts

Associated Press  

▶ Follow live updates on President Donald Trump and his new administration. — Billionaire Elon Musk appeared at a conservative gathering outside Washington waving a chainsaw in the air, showing openness to auditing the Federal Reserve and accusing Democrats of “treason.” Musk, the Tesla CEO who has become perhaps President Donald Trump’s most influential adviser, spoke Thursday about his crusade to cut government spending and downsize the federal workforce with the administration’s Department of Government Efficiency. The chainsaw was engraved with Milei’s slogan, “Viva la libertad, carajo,” which is Spanish for “Long live liberty, damn it.” “This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy,” he said. “A lot of people don’t quite appreciate that this was an actual real scam at scale to tilt the scales of democracy in America,” Musk said before Newsmax host Rob Schmitt asked him, “Treason?” Musk responded, “Treason.” When Schmitt asked him if he would consider auditing the Federal Reserve, Musk responded, “Yeah, sure, while we’re at it.” “Waste is pretty much everywhere,” Musk said. “I’m like, ‘Dude, you are worried about my security?’” When asked to describe what is like inside his mind, Musk replied: “My mind is a storm.
