Dressed in his completely black 'dark Gothic Maga' hat, black jacket, t-shirt and sunglasses, Elon Musk went for the rock star look when he came on stage in Maryland on Thursday evening.
He walked around the air on the conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) with all the suppressed energy of a boxer who limited for the big fight, but he clearly waited to add the last touch.
At the point, the eccentric president of Argentina Javier Milei walked on stage and grabbed a huge chainsaw and gave it to the man who promised to do what Milei is already doing in his own blow to the country-it cut of government spending.
The gigantic power station was engraved with 'Viva La Libertad, Carajo', Spanish for 'Long Live Liberty, Damn It'. It is what Milei used famous during his successful 2023 run for the presidency of Argentina.
Musk roared as he waved it over his head and told the delighted crowd: 'This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy. Chainsaw! Waaaagghh! '
The technology billionaire is hardly anyone to leave the chance to make a big gesture.
He once brought a flame thrower to an interview with Podcast King Joe Rogan and they started smoking to Cannabis together.
But that was in 2018 and Musk was just the world's richest man.

Musk during a Republican campaign event in October. Since the recording of the government office, instead of weakening its antics, the founder of Tesla has arrived his manic and narcissistic behavior
Now he is the head of Donald Trump's new Ministry of Efficiency, Doge, and generally considered the most powerful person in the new administration.
Could this be the time to weaken and act with a small decorum?
Instead, Musk has set up the dial on his manic and narcissistic behavior, a fact that seems to be confirmed by the singer Grimes, his former girlfriend and the mother of three of his children.
On the same day that Musk was at the Galv with the chainsaw, the Canadian pop star – whose real name Claire Boucher is – on the social media platform of Musk, X, begged him to respond to text messages, e -mails and phone calls about it A 'medical crisis' confronted with one of the children.
“Plz respond about the medical crisis of our child,” Grimes wrote in a post that was later removed. 'I am sorry to do this publicly, but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention. '
She continued: 'If you don't want to talk to me, you can please point or hire someone who can, so that we can continue to solve this [?] This is urgent, Elon. '
Grimes did not say which of their children was involved: x æ a-xii (pronounced as 'x ash a twelve'), exa dark sideræl of techno mechanic.
In another message, Grimes said: 'I don't give details, but he will not respond to text messages, calls or e -mails and has skipped every meeting and our child will undergo lifelong limitations if he does not respond as quickly as possible, so I Must need him to respond to f ****** and if I have to exert public pressure, I think that is where we are. '
Grimes criticized Musk's parenting skills earlier this month when he took X æ, now four, to the Oval Office for a press conference with President Trump about the work of Doge.
“He should not be in public,” said the child's mother on social media.
She referred to the little boy, but many people might agree that she could have talked about his 53-year-old father, whose behavior-so that he came to the government unofficially more irregular than before.

Some viewers of the walking interview that he gave at CPAC – about everything from his controversial cuts on the war until the war in Ukraine – noted that he sometimes seemed incoherent and even had difficulty building an intelligible punishment for that concern for his health aroused.
“I became a meme,” he said at one point and added, “My Spirit is a storm.” He also suggested that the golden custodian of Fort Knox was not real and said, “We just want to see it and ensure that someone is not a paint -jump lead or something.”
On X, some speculated that he had used drugs, probably the party drug Ketamine that they introduced before he came on stage, which may not have explained not only his wild antics, but also why he was wearing dark glasses – perhaps for a clear one to hide eye movement or dilated students.
Musk has regularly admitted that ketamine, a calmer by horse and powerful anesthesia, has become popular with recreational drug users for his hallucinogenic side effects and the trance-like state it produces.
Musk has said that he is recovered from 'a real, real doctor', although it is a regulated substance in the US and is only approved by the federal government as an anesthesia.
In an interview last year he said that he uses 'a small amount once every other week' to treat depression. “There are times when I have some kind of a … negative reaction in my brain, such as depression, I think, or depression that is not linked to negative news, and ketamine is useful to get one out of the negative state of mind,” ” he said.
Asked if he abused the medicine, he replied: “I don't think so. If you use too much ketamine, you can't really do work and I have a lot of work. '
Friends star Matthew Perry, however, died of the 'acute effects of ketamine' and warn doctors that it can be very addictive.
Some viewers of the walking interview of Musk at CPAC said he seemed incoherent and even had difficulty constructing an intelligible punishment, so that concern for his health was
Experts say that the drug can lead to unpredictable behavior and that, with higher doses, disassociation, a condition in which the user feels detached from his body and environment.
Ketamine researcher Amit Anand said that users can feel grandiose and that you have special powers or special talents. People do impulsive things, they can do agreed things at work '.
It is hardly the first time that the bizarre behavior of Musk has expressed concern about his mental state.
He is an Uber-Workaholic who likes to sleep in his office. A biography from 2023 revealed that he would sometimes be so exaggerated that he would stay awake all night and eventually vomit with fear.
His already heavy workload such as the boss of various companies, including car manufacturer Tesla, Rocket manufacturer SpaceX and his social media platform, has been increased by his government work.
And that is enough. He has promised to reduce $ 2 trillion at the annual expenditure of the federal government, but so far he has only cut $ 55 billion – and even that figure has been disputed.
In 2018, the New York Times reported that members of the Tesla board were worried about the use of Musk of the prescribed sleep aid ambien, which can cause hallucinations.
Just over a year ago, the Wall Street Journal claimed that Musk had also taken the hallucinogenic drug LSD (Akazuur), Cocaine, Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms so-called at parties around the world that are so mysterious, guests have to sign non-discused Agreements that prohibit them from discussing what is going on and to give up their phones when they enter.

Musk responded to the shocking claims on X and said: 'Whatever I am doing, I should continue to do it clearly! If drugs actually help improve my net productivity over time, I would certainly take them! '
After Musk had delivered a wild and extensive Diatribe about British politics, Musk biographer Seth Abramson said last month that he believed that Musk could be 'deep unwell' and 'perhaps crazy', with potentially serious consequences for the world.
Abramson said that he had followed the online behavior of Musk for the past two years and “given the fact that he has been admitted to all mental disorders, heavy drug use and paralyzing stress, it is now reasonable to fear that he is deeply unwell.”
Such speculation is likely to grow only after his last performance with the chainsaw.
