Elon Musk is beefing with Green Day for slamming MAGA in their latest rendition of ‘American Idiot’


  • Elon Musk joined conservatives in knocking Green Day after it trashed Trump‘s MAGA movement.

  • The band on Sunday changed a lyric of “American Idiot” to instead criticize “the MAGA agenda.”

  • Musk then accused Green Day of “milquetoastedly raging” for “the machine.”

Punk rock band Green Day in a Sunday performance switched up the lyrics of its hit song “American Idiot” to trash former President Donald Trump.

It didn’t take long for Elon Musk to voice his displeasure that the band, by his estimation, had changed for the worse.

As his band performed a set at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong altered the line “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda” to instead sing “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda.”

The lyric, part of a song originally written about the Iraq War, was a direct criticism of former President George Bush.

With Green Day now using the song to hit out at Trump, Musk took the tweaked lyric as a sign that the band had become pro-establishment.

“Green Day goes from raging against the machine to milquetoastedly raging for it,” Musk wrote Sunday evening.

His jab at the band came as conservative pundits blasted Green Day for the lyric swap and mocked the ages of its members. The band’s three members are all 51.

Green Day has long made overt political statements, such as in 2016, when the band coined the “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA” slogan at the American Music Awards.

It’s even sold merchandise celebrating Trump’s mug shot, though the former president has done the same by marketing the photo as a symbol of defiance.

Musk does not have a consistent history of supporting either the Republican or Democratic Party, and has been critical of Trump’s policies before.

But the billionaire, who has often advocated for small government, has in recent years aligned more with corners of conservative politics as he stepped up criticism of President Joe Biden’s administration.
