Neil Young Slams Elon Musk and ‘Fascist’ Tesla Drivers in New Single, Announces First Album With Chrome Hearts

Just a week after previewing his conversation-stirring new single, “Lets Roll Again,” at the Autism Speaks Light Up The Blues 7 concert in Los Angeles, Neil Young is now gearing up to release a new record. The collection of songs, titled “Talkin’ to Trees,” is due out June 13, and will be Young’s first recorded set with new band Chrome Hearts.

“Talkin’ to Trees” will include January single “Big Change” and “Lets Roll Again,” which was released Friday. The latter takes aim at billionaire Elon Musk and his electric car company with lyrics like “If you’re a fascist, then get a Tesla” and “If it’s electric/It doesn’t matter/If you’re a Democrat, then taste your freedom/Get whatever you want, and taste your freedom.” The song was released alongside a music video that featured a “Heil Tesla” image depicting Musk’s controversial and alleged Nazi-style salute.

In addition to owning Tesla, Musk, who also claims ownership of X (formerly Twitter) and SpaceX, has become a prominent figure throughout Donald Trump’s presidency. Musk also leads the newly-minted Department of Government Efficiency.

“Lets Roll Again” follows the tune of Woody Guthrie’s famous “This Land Is Your Land,” while the imagery of the video makes references to climate change and more social issues.
