Jack White on Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s vicious feud: “Nazi clowns”
Jack White has been one of the most vocal critics of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump since their political alignment began last year. Now, White has reacted gleefully to the two billionaires’ messy divorce.
The feud between Trump and Musk began recently due to the President’s new bill, which includes huge tax cuts and massive spending. After Musk, who until recently was the head of Doge in the White House, voiced his frustration at the bill, Trump claimed that the Tesla owner had “no problem with it” until he discovered plans to “cut the (electric vehicle) mandate”.
In response, Musk accused Trump of lying, writing on X, “False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!”
He then claimed that “Trump would have lost the election” without his involvement and said the US leader was showing “such ingratitude”. Trump then doubled down by saying that Musk “just went CRAZY!” when he took away the electric vehicle mandate.
Musk then said it was “time to drop the really big bomb” and alleged Trump “is in the Epstein files”, which “is the real reason they have not been made public”.
Following this allegation, White took to Instagram to share a split image of Musk, Trump and Kanye West, along with a post on X from the latter which reads, “Broooos please nooooo We love you both so much”.
In his caption, White wrote: “3 fucking nazi clowns collapsing under the weight of their own unchecked egos. More popcorn gruppenfuehrer! L to R: Joseph Noballs, Yedolf Hitler, and Herman Boring. Is America “Great” yet boys?”
In March, White altered the lyrics to his track ‘Corporation’ to attack Trump and Musk. “I was thinking about taking government subsidies and starting my own electric car company; who’s with me?” White sings in a not-so-subtle dig at the Tesla owner in the clip.
Later on, he attacked Trump by singing, “I’m thinking about not being properly vetted by the Supreme Court or Congress, Just doing whatever the hell I want because some fucking bloated asshole orange fucking gorilla whose failed at every business he’s ever ran wants me to be his golf cart partner.”
Following Trump’s election victory, White labelled the politician an “obvious fascist” and said that “now America will get whatever this wannabe dictator wants to enact from here on in”.
