Neil Young has reportedly taken a swipe at Elon Musk and his company Tesla in a new, yet-to-be-released song.
The Glastonbury headliner has never been afraid to get political, even expressing concern he would not be able to return to the US after his comments.
Originally from Canada, Neil was concerned his outspoken criticism of American President Donald Trump would leave him unable to re-enter despite holding dual citizenship.
The 79-year-old singer managed to get home and, while at a concert on Saturday, hit out at Trump’s friend and advisor, Elon.
Neil tells ‘fascists’ to ‘get a Tesla’ in a new track, which he unveiled at Autism Speaks’ Light Up the Blues Concert, as per the San Francisco Chronicle.
The song, reportedly called Let’s Roll Again, encourages US car manufacturers to up their game before the not-so-subtle jibe.
The Harvest Heart singer sings to Ford, General Motors and Chrysler to ‘build us something that won’t kill our kids, runs real clean’.
‘Over in China/ They’re way ahead/ That’s hard to swallow,’ he continues to the crowd in Los Angeles before adding: ‘If you’re a fascist, get a Tesla.’
He added: ‘If you’re a Democrat, taste your freedom/ Get whatever you want, taste your freedom.’
The Tesla owner has not responded to the dig, he was too busy entertaining us all at a sort of farewell meeting at the White House on Wednesday.
Elon ‘Double Hat’ Musk has stepped back from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
No word on if or when the new song will actually be recorded and released — or if it’s part of his planned Worthy Farm set at the end of June.
The Chrome Hearts icon has long been a car fanatic and once adapted a Mercedes-Benz and a Hummer to run on vegetable oil.
He’s also been a frequent critic of Trump and his administration, filing against the campaign to bar them from using his songs in 2020.
On April 1, he shared a lengthy message on his website, expressing concern over whether his comments would block his ability to enter the US after his European tour.
It came after reports that people are being detained and deported, such as punk band UK Subs, after criticising the man Neil called the ‘worst president in history’.
‘That’s right folks, if you say anything bad about Trump or his administration, you may be barred from re-entering USA,’ he wrote. ‘If you are Canadian. If you are a dual citizen like me, who knows?’
Neil called the situation a threat to freedom of speech and asked: ‘If the fact that I think Donald Trump is the worst president in the history of our great country could stop me from coming back, what does that say for Freedom?’
‘How spineless is that?’ he continued. ‘Trump is not able to stand up to anyone who does not agree with his ideas?’
