Elon Musk Expertly Trolls Green Day Over Their Lame Anti-Trump New Year's Eve Message

Punk band Green Day performed on "Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve" on ABC Sunday night and changed the lyrics of their 2004 song “American Idiot” to include the anti-Trump line, “I'm not part of the MAGA agenda."

The once-edgy band is now a corporatist entity and is throwing out uneducated, divisive messages because they know that a certain portion of their fans -- and the boringly woke entertainment industry -- will soak it up and call them "brave." What they forget is that they just alienated another bloc of potential fans. My colleague Bonchie never liked the band, but I enjoyed some of their songs. I'll be turning the station when they come on now, though.

Elon Musk seemingly agreed. The X owner has proven over and over that he is the master of the one-liner, and he didn’t disappoint here: Green Day goes from raging against the machine to milquetoastedly raging for it.

South Korean Opposition Leader Stabbed in the Neck During Assassination Attempt

Lee Jae-myung, who leads South Korea's opposition party, was stabbed in the neck during an assassination attempt, and the entire thing was caught on camera.

Lee is seen answering questions from a gaggle of reporters while visiting the city of Busan. He was there to tour an airport building project. Suddenly, a man makes his way through the crowd and stabs the political leader in the neck. A scuffle ensues as the attacker is brought to the ground by what looks like security forces.

South Korea's opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung was stabbed in the neck during a visit to the southern port city of Busan on Tuesday, the Yonhap news agency reported. Lee was attacked by an unidentified man while touring the site of a proposed airport, Yonhap said. The assailant appeared to be a man in his 50s or 60s. He approached Lee asking for an autograph, then suddenly lunged forward and attack him, news reports said. The assailant was quickly subdued and arrested at the scene, Yonhap said.

It was not immediately clear what caused the attack, though the assailant was confirmed to have been detained so a motive will likely be forthcoming.

The Democratic Party, which is South Korea's more left-wing political entity, controls the parliament while the presidency is held by Yoon Suk Yeol, a member of the more conservative People Power Party. Lee has favored a gradual normalization with North Korea's communist government, a factor that also could have played a role in the attack.
