At the Autism Speaks’ Light Up the Blues benefit concert in Los Angeles on April 26, 2025, Neil Young debuted a politically charged song titled “Let’s Roll Again,” directly criticizing former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The song includes the provocative lyric, “If you’re a fascist, get a Tesla,” and urges American automakers to produce cleaner, safer vehicles, highlighting China’s advancements in clean vehicle technology.
Young, known for his environmental advocacy and political activism, has a history of opposing Trump’s policies. He previously expressed concerns about potential repercussions for his criticisms, fearing detention or denial of re-entry into the U.S. during Trump’s presidency. Additionally, his wife, actress Darryl Hannah, claimed that the Trump administration attempted to hinder Young’s U.S. citizenship application.
“Let’s Roll Again” is part of Young’s ongoing efforts to advocate for environmental responsibility and political accountability through his music. He is scheduled to headline the Glastonbury Festival and continue his “Love Earth” tour later this year.
