The band confirms their voluntary departure from X in 2022, dispelling rumors of retaliation for their outspoken political views.

The Dropkick Murphys left X (formerly Twitter) in 2022, citing disapproval of Elon Musk's leadership and platform policies.
Their X handle was later taken over by an impersonator, prompting the band to file a legal complaint that led to the account's suspension.
Ken Casey, the band's frontman, criticized MAGA hats and Trump supporters during recent concerts in Florida and Boston, drawing viral attention.
The band reiterated their commitment to worker advocacy and American-made products, contrasting with their criticism of MAGA merchandise.
