Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day, shared a video celebrating his Johannesburg concert where he changed some lyrics to mock Elon Musk

Green Day have taken lyrical aim at Elon Musk while performing in his home country of South Africa. The band’s frontman Billie Joe Armstrong reportedly switched a line in their 2004 hit “American Idiot” from “I’m not a part of the redneck agenda” to “I’m not a part of the Elon agenda.”

Green Day again altered a lyric in “American Idiot,” this time taking a jab at Elon Musk. Musk, who was born in Pratoria, South Africa and became a U.S. citizen in 2002, is the world’s richest man, tech and business mogul and administrator of the newly formed non-federal executive

This isn’t the first time Green Day has called out Musk; after their 2023 New Year’s Rockin’ Eve performance, where they altered the lyrics of “American Idiot” to say “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda,” Musk criticized the band on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “Green Day goes from raging against the machine to milquetoastedly raging for it.”

Fans of the legendary pop punk band Green Day have been left delighted after singer Billie Joe Armstrong changed the lyrics to one of their most famed songs to criticise Elon Musk and Donald Trump
