SpaceX founder and Trump megadonor turned “special government employee” Elon Musk waved a chainsaw around and continued to accuse the Biden administration of abandoning American astronauts during a madcap surprise appearance on stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday.
Musk, who took the stage alongside Newsmax host Rob Schmitt on the second day of the right-wing confab, immediately brought on a second guest — Argentinian president Javier Milei — who handed Musk the bejeweled power tool as a gift, apparently a reference to the figurative chainsaw Musk is taking to the federal government. Milei has repeatedly wielded a chainsaw in public appearances in Argentina.
