In a bold move, Jack White took aim at Donald Trump and Elon Musk during a live performance of his song “Corporation” in Boston last month. The musician, known for his outspoken views on politics, swapped out the original lyrics to target the two high-profile figures.
White’s revised lyrics didn’t hold back, with the musician singing, “I was thinking about taking government subsidies and starting my own electric car company; Who’s with me?” in a clear jab at Musk’s Tesla empire. He also took aim at Trump, singing, “I’m thinking about not being elected. Never holding a public office. Never serving one day of military service, But somehow having the authority to control parts of the US Government; Who’s with me?”.
The performance was part of White’s “No Name” tour, which has seen him play a string of dates across North America. The musician’s decision to target Trump and Musk in his lyrics is just the latest example of his willingness to speak truth to power and challenge the status quo.
White has been an outspoken critic of Trump in the past, and has frequently used his platform to denounce the former President’s policies and actions. In November, he reacted to Trump’s second electoral win by launching a blistering attack on social media, calling him a “fascist” and a “con man”.
The musician has also been critical of Musk, who has faced widespread criticism for his handling of Twitter and his other business ventures. By targeting both Trump and Musk in his lyrics, White is sending a clear message that he will not hesitate to speak out against those in power who he believes are abusing their authority.
White’s performance is a testament to the power of music as a form of social commentary and critique. By using his platform to speak out against injustice and inequality, White is inspiring others to do the same and challenging the status quo in a way that is both powerful and thought-provoking.
In conclusion, Jack White’s scathing attack on Trump and Musk in his live performance of “Corporation” is a bold statement that is sure to resonate with fans and critics alike. With his willingness to speak truth to power and challenge the status quo, White is cementing his reputation as one of the most outspoken and innovative musicians of his generation.
