Elon Musk’s appearance on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ was huge. It gave people the opportunity to understand the billionaire as an individual and his work. However, Elon Musk was also criticized for something he did on the podcast.

The entrepreneur smoked weed on the JRE podcast, and this resulted in a backlash. While fans are used to seeing Joe Rogan smoke on his podcast, the same cannot be said about Musk.

Musk was recently on the ‘Full Send Podcast’ where he spoke about the backlash he received. He said, “I did get a lot of backlash. Because it’s like still federally illegal.”

“So I had to like random drug test and stuff after that to prove that I am not like a drug addict.”

“The federal government. Because like SpaceX has federal covered contracts so and it’s still illegal federally. So like the SpaceX, you know, competitors were like ‘hey, look at you, why aren’t you doing anything?’… smoking, just like brazenly smoking weed on Joe Rogan’s podcast.”

“Ya, they drug tested me for everything… randomly… . It wasn’t like, you know, big pick a day, it was …. oh, your random drug test.”

“The consequences for me and for actually SpaceX were not good because it’s federally illegal and SpaceX has federal contracts and then, you know, so, unfortunately, it wasn’t just me but the whole company, the whole SpaceX had to random drug test.
