CM Punk Slams MAGA Critics and Elon Musk Defenders

CM Punk isn’t mincing words—especially when it comes to politics, hypocrisy, and his own beliefs.

During an appearance on The Masked Man Show with David Shoemaker and Kazeem Famuyide, Punk was asked where he stands in the political firestorm that’s surrounded WrestleMania week, especially with Roman Reigns and Triple H recently commenting on their support for Donald Trump. Punk, as usual, didn’t hold back.

“I don’t think the company wants us to be outwardly political,” Punk started. “I do feel there’s probably different rules for different people.”

Punk admitted he doesn’t talk politics backstage. Not with Triple H. Not with Paul Heyman. Not even with Roxanne Perez. “It’s 24/7 wrestling,” he explained. But when it comes to his personal stance, Punk made it very clear: he doesn’t buy into blind party loyalty or cult-like devotion to any President.

“President should just do his job,” Punk said. “If you’re wearing hats and shirts promoting the President and all that stuff… we’ve very much seen recently all these people who voted against their best interests because they thought this President was just going to do bad stupid shit to the people they don’t like.”

Then he unloaded: “I can sort of draw a line in the sand and say when Elon Musk is throwing Zieg Heil up at the podium, and I see people make excuses for that—nope. We saw what you did. Don’t gaslight me, I’m not as fucking stupid as you are. I know what you did, so I know what you are.”

Punk called the world “strange” and “ugly,” but said all he can do is stay grounded. “The only thing I can do is be true to myself… be a voice for myself and my family and my community, and then the world,” he said.

As for critics who slam him online? He wasn’t letting them slide. “I’m just supposed to quit my job because somebody on Twitter says WWE is a ‘MAGA company’? Okay. You’re on Lord Elon Musk’s fucking Twitter saying stupid shit. Shut the fuck up.”

Punk added that his activism is real—but private. “I’ve done a lot, I just don’t broadcast it. I put my money where my mouth is… I don’t need to write my name in on a fuckin’ GoFundMe to make me feel better about the shitty person I am.”

Punk, known for his outspoken support of teachers’ rights, trans rights, and abortion rights, wrapped it up the only way he knows how: “Sometimes I can crash like water and sometimes I can be still.”

Punk will headline WrestleMania 41 night one in Las Vegas, going up against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in a triple threat. But even before the bell rings, he’s already making his presence felt.
