Elton John Calls British Minister a "Moron" Over AI Music Policies

Elton John Calls British Minister a "Moron" Over AI Music Policies
May 19, 2025

In the latest twist in the ongoing saga of AI music policies, legendary musician Elton John has taken to social media to call out British Minister for Science, Innovation and Technology, Peter Kyle, branding him a "moron" for his stance on the issue.

John, a vocal advocate for artists' rights in the digital age, expressed his frustration with Kyle's seeming lack of understanding of the impact AI-generated music could have on the industry. In a series of scathing tweets, he accused the minister of putting corporate interests ahead of the artistry and livelihoods of musicians.

It's not the first time Elton John has spoken out on this issue, having previously criticized streaming services for their low royalty payments to artists. His impassioned plea for fair treatment of musicians has garnered support from industry peers and fans alike.

As the debate over AI music continues to heat up, with some arguing it could revolutionize the way music is created and consumed, while others fear it could devalue the work of human musicians, Elton John's voice adds a powerful perspective to the conversation.

Only time will tell how this clash between the music legend and the British Minister will play out, but one thing is for sure: Elton John isn't backing down in his fight for the future of music.

Stay tuned to Vinyl Castle for updates on this developing story, and in the meantime, remember: music should be made by humans, not machines.
