Elon Musk's recent flamboyant appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference highlighted his controversial role as an adviser aiming to cut US government spending. Brandishing a symbolic golden chainsaw, he has taken credit for severe layoffs across multiple federal agencies through his initiative, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

His tactics have notably created the highest levels of government job losses since the COVID-19 pandemic.
