What’s more punk rock than getting banned by Elon Musk‘s X? Kicking it to the curb first.

Massachusetts-based Celtic punk group the Dropkick Murphys have set the record straight after multiple media outlets reported that their X (formerly Twitter) social media account was disabled.

“We broke up with him first. We quit Twitter in 2022 when he was only half a Nazi,” founder and vocalist Ken Casey said in a statement about the social media platform’s billionaire owner. “Then someone else took our handle, pretending to be our official account, so we filed a legal complaint to put a stop to that—which is why @dropkickmurphys shows as suspended.”

“Look, we pulled our account because we didn’t want to be part of that guy’s empire. But if we were still on there, I’m sure he would have suspended us by now,” Casey said.

Where it all began: Casey called out audience members for wearing Donald Trump-tied “Make America Great Again” merchandise at recent concerts.

“The reason we speak out, we don’t care if we lose fans, because when history is said and done, we want it known that the Dropkick Murphys stood with the people. We stood with the workers. It’s all a f—ing scam, guys,” Casey told a Clearwater, Fla., audience during a concert on March 8.

The band has close ties with union labor, so Casey wagered an audience member that his MAGA shirt was not made in the United States.

“In the name of decency and fairness, sir, I’d like to propose a friendly wager. You can’t lose this wager. Would you — in the name of dialog and discourse, and I appreciate you being here — would you agree to a friendly wager?” Casey asked. “He says, ‘Sure.’ That’s a good sport.”

“First of all, do you support American workers?” Casey continued from the stage, as the crowd cheered in agreement. “Of course you do. Okay. And you support American businesses obviously. So, I don’t know if you guys are aware, because we don’t go around f—ing bragging about it, but Dropkick Murphys always sells proudly made-in-America merchandise only.”

“And here’s the bet I’d like to make: If you lose the bet, we switch shirts,” he said, indicating a Dropkick Murphys T-shirt in his hand. “If you win the bet, I give you $100 and the shirt, right? That’s why I said, ‘You can’t lose,’ right?”

After a drumroll, a security guard checked the tag on the guy’s shirt and announced, “Nicaragua.”

“It’s made in Nicaragua!” Casey celebrated, before throwing the T-shirt to the audience member. “He’s a good sport; he’s taking his shirt off.”

The issue arose again on St. Patrick’s Day when the band played (of course) Boston, and an audience member was wearing a MAGA baseball cap.

“I admire your dedication,” Casey said from the stage in another moment caught on video. But he suggested the MAGA merchandise represented a “cult.” “This is America! There are no kings here!”

The Dropkick Murphys begin their Summer of Discontent Tour with Bad Religion and the Mainliners in July.
