Charley Crockett Blasts Trump and Musk, Praises Bad Bunny After Super Bowl

The widely reported Instagram message marks an unusually direct political stance within country music.

Overview

  • In an Instagram post following Super Bowl LX, the Texas artist called President Trump a “grifter” and cited his casino bankruptcies.
  • He urged deporting Elon Musk and said Peter Thiel should “join him,” accusing both of backing a “post democratic” order.
  • Praising Bad Bunny’s halftime performance, he contrasted it with Grammy remarks from Jelly Roll and urged the country establishment to learn from Bad Bunny’s cultural grounding.
  • He tied his critique to personal experience, noting he lost voting and gun rights over marijuana and arguing younger generations face worsening inequality.
  • Billboard, Rolling Stone and local outlets covered the remarks as online reactions ranged from support to criticism, with no responses reported from those he named.
