Neil Young Releases Video Criticizing Trump Administration and Allies

Neil Young has released a politically charged video titled "as time explodes" that critiques President Donald Trump’s administration, his allies, and major tech billionaires. Set to an instrumental track reminiscent of his 2003 song "Be the Rain," the video combines news footage including the demolition of the White House's East Wing, Trump accepting a luxury jet from Qatar, and the deployment of the National Guard to cities during ICE protests. It prominently features tech magnates Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Apple CEO Tim Cook, framing them as oligarchs contributing to America’s problems. The video also highlights recent protests like the No Kings demonstrations and continues Young's public opposition to Trump, following his previous politically charged song "Big Crime." Young has a history of activism, including boycotting Amazon and formally leaving Facebook, underscoring his ongoing critique of political and corporate power in the U.S. His work remains a stark commentary on the current political and social climate under President Trump.
