Fox News Tells Musicians to Avoid Politics, Drawing Rebukes from Rage Guitarist Tom Morello and Elon Musk After Green Day's Anti-MAGA Lyric
- Fox News anchors said musicians should stay out of politics and "stick to what you're good at" rather than preach about politics in their music
- This was in reaction to Green Day changing a lyric to critique the "MAGA agenda" at a New Year's Eve performance
- Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, a Harvard political science graduate, reacted by questioning Fox News' assertion on social media
- Morello has a long history of political commentary and civil disobedience with Rage Against the Machine and as an artist
- Elon Musk also reacted to Green Day's lyric change, jokingly saying they now "rage for the machine" rather than against it
