Elon Musk waved a chainsaw in the air while accusing Democrats of treason at a conservative gathering in Washington DC.
President Donald Trump’s ‘right-hand man’ wielded the weapon as he boasted about his attempts to cut down on government spending with his new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The Conservative Political Action Conference cheered loudly as he waved the chainsaw, gifted to him by far-right Argentinian President Javier Milei, who famously hoisted a chainsaw in his own country.
Milei was nicknamed the ‘chainsaw president’ after appearing on stage at rallies holding the power tool while pledging to slash public spending.
Musk went on to slam Joe Biden’s presidency and accuse them of a real ‘scam’ to tilt the scales of democracy in America.
A reporter asked: ‘Treason?’
Musk replied: ‘Treason.’

When asked to describe what is like inside his mind, Musk replied: ‘My mind is a storm. It’s a storm.’
Lizz Truss also spoke at the conference, claiming Britain wants to be part of the ‘second American revolution’ as she announced a new ‘free speech media network’.
Ms Truss, who served just 49 days as prime minister before resigning under pressure from her own party and then losing her seat at last year’s general election, also heaped praise on Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
Claiming that ‘everything that made Britain great is being destroyed by an establishment that hates Britain and hates the West’, she said:
‘Patriotic Brits have had enough, they’ve had enough, and we look across the Atlantic with envy. We see President Trump in the executive, in the Oval Office signing off executive orders and we want some of that in Britain.’
Earlier this week, President Trump and his Musk sat down for an intimate interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
The duo answered questions about stranded astronauts and discussed how Democrats are ‘horrible people’.
Hannity, Trump and Musk sat down in the Roosevelt Room in the White House to speak to the right-wing commentator.
Musk hit back on claims that he’s orchestrating a ‘shadow presidency’ from Democrats, saying those attacking him and accusing him of being unconstitutional are unconstitutional themselves.
‘They are guilty of the crime of which they accuse us,’ he claimed.
Trump and Musk also spoke of astronauts left in space for ‘political reasons’, DEI changes and more.
