Elon Musk ribs Green Day for singing anti-MAGA lyrics to mock Donald Trump
“Green Day goes from raging against the machine to milquetoastedly raging for it," says Elon Musk
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is joining the discussion on the anti-MAGA lyrics change that alternative rock band Green Day performed during a New Year's Eve concert, which sparked criticism.
“Green Day goes from raging against the machine to milquetoastedly raging for it,” the billionaire entrepreneur shared in an X post on Sunday evening, adding two laughing-crying emojis. He was replying to a Not the Bee piece on the changed line.
While performing the band’s 2004 hit song “American Idiot” Sunday night, the band’s lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong sang, “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda” instead of the original lyrics, “I’m not a part of the redneck agenda,” as The Daily Wire previously reported.
As a part of "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve," this performance was shown on ABC.
“American Idiot” was made as a political statement. It was made public in protest against then-President George W Bush and the conflict that followed with Iraq after 9/11.
Armstrong has been an outspoken critic of former president Donald Trump for years. He said in 2018, “I f***ing hate Donald Trump so much,” and “I used to scream I hated George Bush. This one is a little different. This one is bad, it’s like acid gone bad. F***ing LSD and the American Right, man.”
