Jack White has swapped out the lyrics of his 2018 hit ‘Corporation’ to hit out at US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.Last month (February 18), Jack White performed his final North American date as part of the ‘No Name’ tour in Boston, where he played a scathing version of ‘Corporation’ that saw him take aim at Trump and Musk.Though the show took place nearly a month ago, the performance has only recently started making headlines after footage of the song began circulating in recent days.
During the song, Jack White starts off by ripping into Tesla owner Elon Musk, who was appointed head of the Department of Government Efficiency by Trump.“I was thinking about taking government subsidies and starting my own electric car company; Who’s with me?” White sings. “I’m thinking about not being elected.
Never holding a public office. Never serving one day of military service, But somehow having the authority to control parts of the US Government; Who’s with me?”While still taking jabs at Musk, Jack White also manages to slide in a cheeky attack on Trump: “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.”Check out footage of the scathing performance below.It’s the latest instance of Jack White taking aim at Trump and his administration.
