Elon Musk Criticizes Democrats, Supports Auditing Federal Reserve

Renowned billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a striking appearance at a conservative gathering near Washington, D.C., where he brandished a chainsaw, expressed interest in auditing the Federal Reserve, and accused Democrats of treason. Musk, a prominent advisor to former President Donald Trump, addressed the crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference, discussing his efforts to reduce government spending and streamline the federal workforce through the Department of Government Efficiency.
