Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke has moved from criticizing fans to targeting bands—but now it’s about Elon Musk.
Radke recently reacted to a Rock Feed post about My Chemical Romance’s Frank Iero, who commented on Musk’s viral Nazi salute. Iero had said: “F*ck this guy and every single person supporting this or wasting any kind of breath attempting to defend it. Your true colors are shining through.”
In response, Radke wrote under the post: “My Chemical Transgender Kid.” While some people found it funny, others criticized him. One user replied: “Go back to making good music,” while another said: “Can’t you go one day without hating on trans people? Can’t you do something productive like finally take singing lessons?”
The controversy began when Musk made a hand gesture at Donald Trump’s inauguration that many interpreted as a Nazi salute. Musk denied it, tweeting: “Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is so tired.”
Radke has faced backlash before for his comments about the LGBT+ community. He claimed TikTok was shadowbanning him for speaking about sex and gender.
In an earlier Twitter thread, Radke also spoke about his daughter’s experiences with gay and trans friends. He said society was ‘forcing sexuality on kids’ and called being gay a trend. Radke added that he didn’t care about being canceled. After these comments, he was banned from TikTok and shadowbanned on X.
