– Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello mocked billionaire Elon Musk after Musk weirdly cast himself as a rebel and referenced the band in an inane tweet mocking his critics. Musk tweeted: *”Why are so many people raging FOR the machine?”*
[The album cover](https://albumlogy.com/blog/rage-against-the-machine-evil-empire) features a clean-cut, all-American kid with a cape and the letter “e” on his shirt—a critique of conservative politics, inspired by President Ronald Reagan’s Cold War rhetoric.
The irony was clear: the “evil” Morello mocked was not communism, as Reagan had labeled it, but the system Musk now represents.
