Elon Musk waves chainsaw at CPAC to showcase budget slashing
The billionaire buddy of President Trump got a rock star’s welcome from the Thursday night crowd of MAGA loyalists and he delivered a speech full of red meat attacks
Elon Musk wore sunglasses at night and waved a red chainsaw to show off his supposed budget-slashing prowess during a speech to the right-wing Conservative Political Action Committee.
The billionaire buddy of President Trump got a rock star’s welcome from the Thursday night crowd of MAGA loyalists and he delivered a speech full of red meat attacks on Democrats, immigrants and supposed government waste.
“This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy,” Musk said, after Argentina’s far right-wing President Javier Milei brought him the lumber-cutting power tool on stage.
“Waste is pretty much everywhere,” added Musk, who wore his trademark black MAGA cap and shades.
Musk has grabbed center stage in the first weeks of the second Trump administration by using his high-profile gig with the newly designated Department of Government Efficiency to cut thousands of federal jobs and scrap whole agencies.
Polls say he may be going too far too fast, with the majority of voters saying he has too much power and Trump should rein him in.

(Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)Musk has come under especially heavy criticism from lawmakers in both parties for his deep cuts to the 9/11 Health Fund, which provides benefits to 130,000 Ground Zero first responders and survivors of the worst-ever terror attack on American soil.
But the Tesla and SpaceX mogul showed no signs of regret as he lashed out a familiar list of MAGA enemies, namely liberals, immigrants and even Trump’s new punching bag, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“My mind is a storm,” admitted Musk, who boasts of his frenetic work pace.
Musk slammed former President Biden for what he called lax immigration policies, specifically blasting an app that asylum-seekers used to get court appointments, allowing some of them to obtain work permits in the meantime.
He accused Democrats of doing that as an “investment” to get more support in swing states, even though none of the asylum seekers could vote.
“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 “(It’s) treason.”
Musk defended his roughshod attacks on government agencies and said he was looking forward to taking his budget axe to the Federal Reserve, which operates independently from the White House.
“Yeah, sure, while we’re at it,” Musk quipped with a grin.

Is Jang Hye Jin the reason why Roh Jeong Eui wound up leaving her village on “The Witch”?
Based on “Moving” author Kang Full’s webtoon of the same name, “The Witch” is a mystery romance about a woman who distances herself from the world due to tragedy and a man who refuses to give up on her.
Spoilers
On the previous episode of “The Witch,” Park Mi Jeong (Roh Jeong Eui) was traumatized by the abrupt deaths of multiple students who had crushes on her. Plagued by rumors that she was a “witch,” Mi Jeong decided to quit school and stay cooped up inside at home. Even then, her mysterious “curse” followed her, and her father tragically died after saving her from a venomous snake bite.
In a preview that aired at the end of the episode, it was revealed that it was not Mi Jeong’s idea to leave the village; instead, it turned out that she had been pressured to leave by the other villagers. Most shocking of all, Lee Dong Jin (GOT7’s Jinyoung)’s mother Mi Sook (Jang Hye Jin) was seen standing at the forefront of the group asking Mi Jeong to leave. Later, while lying in a hospital bed, Mi Sook confessed to her son, “I was the one who chased that girl away.”
As Mi Sook was always kind, friendly, and generous to not only her son but also her neighbors, her unexpected and seemingly uncharacteristic involvement in Mi Jeong’s departure raised the question of whether something else had happened in the village after her father’s death.
In newly released stills from the drama’s upcoming third episode, a remorseful Mi Sook brings up the incident with Mi Jeong, which had remained painfully buried in her heart. As she lies in the hospital with Dong Jin by her side, Mi Sook catches her son off guard with her shocking confession—and what she has to say ultimately makes Dong Jin determined to figure out and undo the “curse” that afflicts Mi Jeong.
The drama’s production team teased, “This week, the heartbreaking reason why Mi Jeong had no choice but to leave the village—and why Dong Jin wants so badly to help Mi Jeong return to an ordinary life—will be revealed.”
“Dong Jin will begin to dig into Mi Jeong’s ‘pattern of death’ in earnest,” they continued. “The true mystery will begin starting from Episode 3.”
The third episode of “The Witch” will air on February 22 at 9:10 p.m. KST.
In the meantime, check out the first two episodes of the drama with subtitles on Viki below!
