TURN OFF THE MONEY MACHINE, JEFF.”Neil Young Sparks Firestorm by Pulling Music from Amazon Over Bezos’ Trump Ties
In a move that sent shockwaves through both the music and tech industries, rock legend Neil Young made a dramatic announcement during a live broadcast last night: he will be removing all of his music from Amazon. The reason? What he described as Jeff Bezos’ “open support” for former President Donald Trump.
“Turn off the money machine, Jeff,” Young declared, staring straight into the camera during what began as a promotional livestream for his latest vinyl reissue. “If you’re gonna fund fascism, you don’t get to play my songs.”
A Musical Stand with Political Weight
This isn’t the first time Neil Young has used his music and platform to take a political stand. In 2022, he famously pulled his music from Spotify over COVID misinformation, calling out the platform’s hosting of Joe Rogan. But this latest move escalates the stakes dramatically this time targeting one of the most powerful men in the world.
In the broadcast, Young cited recent financial disclosures and public appearances linking Bezos to pro-Trump political efforts. “He’s not just writing checks he’s throwing parties for the guy,” Young claimed. “If you stand with Trump, you don’t stand with democracy. And I won’t stand with you.”
Trump Fires Back

Trump Fires Back
True to form, Donald Trump wasted no time responding. On Truth Social, the former president lashed out:
“Neil Young is a washed-up rebel looking for relevance. Nobody’s listened to his music in 40 years. Amazon should be THANKING him for taking it off.”
The jab short, personal, and dismissive quickly sparked its own firestorm of reactions, with some Trump supporters mocking Young while others rallied in support of the rock icon’sstand.
Industry Reactions: Divided but Watching Closely
Amazon has yet to issue an official statement, though insiders say the company was caught completely off guard. With Young’s extensive catalog from Harvest to Rust Never Sleeps being pulled, it represents a significant loss, particularly as Amazon Music has tried to position itself as a serious player in high-fidelity audio and legacy artist catalogues.
Other artists have begun weighing in. Jack White posted a black-and-white image of Young with the caption, “A real one never sells out.” Meanwhile, country star Jason Aldean, a vocal Trump supporter, tweeted: “One less hippie crying on the playlist. Good riddance.”
What’s Next?
While it’s too soon to know whether Young’s bold move will lead to a broader artist exodus from Amazon, one thing is clear: this isn’t just about music it’s about money, influence, and the deepening entanglement between art and politics in America.
In an era where artists are increasingly expected to take stands, Neil Young has once again planted his flag, consequences be damned. As the smoke from this latest culture clash rises, one thing remains unchanged: Neil Young is still rocking in the free world but he’s choosing very carefully where he plays.
