Rock legend Neil Young could drive Elon Musk crazy with his newest song, an anti-Tesla protest ditty.
The new composition, which Young debuted Saturday at a benefit concert in Los Angeles, is apparently titled, “Let’s Roll Again.”
The ditty adapts the melody of folk classic “This Land Is Your Land” to send a message to various auto manufacturers:
“Build something special, that people need / Build us a safe way for us to live / Build us something that won’t kill our kids / Build us something that runs real clean / Come on America, let’s get in the race / China’s way ahead, they’re making clean cars.”
The song has harsher words for Tesla.
“If you’re a fascist, get a Tesla / It’s electric, it doesn’t matter,” Young sings at one point.
Young uses the song’s final lines to warn, “If you’re a Democrat, taste your freedom / Get whatever you want, taste your freedom.”
The musical attack on Tesla comes as the auto company has suffered terrible first-quarter revenues, in part because of consumer protests over Musk’s work with Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
It also comes just weeks after Young expressed fears that his criticism of Trump might prevent him from reentering the U.S. after his upcoming European tour.
“When I go to play music in Europe, if I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminum blanket,” he wrote on his website. “That is happening all the time now. Countries have new advice for those returning to America.”
This isn’t the first time Young has gone after Musk.
In November 2023, Young announced he was boycotting X because Musk wrote he agreed with a post that accused Jewish communities of ‘dialectical hatred against whites.’”
