Elon Musk has slammed Green Day for shamelessly shilling for the Democrat establishment during the fake punk rock band’s New Year’s Eve concert.
During the band’s performance, hate-filled “woke” singer Billie Joe Armstrong changed the lyrics of one of their songs to attack President Donald Trump and his supporters.
While performing the band’s 2004 hit song “American Idiot” Sunday night, instead of the original lyrics, “I’m not a part of the redneck agenda,” Armstrong sang, “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda.”
However, the move has led to widespread mockery as the so-called “anti-establishment” band’s lyrics sound dangerously close to Democrat President Joe Biden’s anti-Trump talking points.
Musk quickly went viral for his take on the band’s political lyrics.
“Green Day goes from raging against the machine to milquetoastedly raging for it,” Musk shared in an X post on Sunday evening.
The billionaire entrepreneur also added two laughing-crying emojis.
He was responding to an article from Not the Bee which also mocked Green Day over the altered line.

This performance aired on ABC as part of the “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” presentation.
The song “American Idiot” was made as a political statement.
It was released following the 9/11 terror attacks as a form of protest against then-President George W. Bush and the resulting war with Iraq.
Armstrong has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump for years.
In 2018, he said “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.”
In 2016, the band popularized the slogan “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA,” per Business Insider.
Musk has been more critical of Biden and leftist policies in recent years.
He also said Biden could plausibly “audition for role of Crypt Keeper – no makeup or special effects needed!”
“When he was vice president, I went to a lunch with him in San Francisco where he droned on for an hour and was boring as hell, like one of those dolls where you pull the string and it just says the same mindless phrases over and over,” Musk told biographer Walter Isaacson.
