Moby Blasts 'Incompetent and Corrupt' U.S. Administration: 'Dark Dark Times'
Electronic music veteran Moby voices his frustration with the current U.S. administration, joining a growing chorus of artists critical of the political climate.
Moby has once again taken to social media to express his discontent with Donald Trump's administration.
"The U.S. is being run into the ground by a staggeringly incompetent and corrupt administration," the artist stated in a recent post. "Unbelievably dark dark times."
Moby elaborated further in a video, acknowledging the confusion felt both within and outside the United States.
“So a lot of my friends who live outside the United States keep asking me, ‘what the hell is going on in the United States? And the truth is, we don’t know,” he explains. “The United States is being run by the most corrupt, evil, incompetent administration. And nobody knows what’s going on. It’s dark dark times in the U.S.”
Moby joins a growing list of artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Jack White, Eminem, and Billie Eilish, who have used their platforms to criticize Trump and the MAGA movement.
Earlier this year, Moby posted a statement offering advice on responding to the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. He emphasized the importance of protest and voting.
He also advises to “stop supporting the scumbag corporations who support Trump and ICE. We all know who they are. Boycott them.”
His latest comments come as the U.S. justice department announces an almost $1.8bn fund to compensate allies of Trump who allege they were unfairly investigated, and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, forcing up gas prices worldwide, after the U.S. and Israel launched military campaigns against Iran in late February, without U.S. Congressional approval.
A career independent recording artist, Moby has landed 10 titles on the Billboard 200, plus two Billboard Hot 100 hits, and countless syncs. Not bad. On the other side of the Atlantic, however, he’s recognized as one of the leaders of his generation. In the United Kingdom, he boasts two No. 1 albums (1999’s Play and 2002’s 18), and 18 top 40 appearances on the national singles chart, and he has twice been nominated for best international male act at the BRIT Awards.
