The podcast host credited Elon Musk for bringing the technology back to life, as he said, “But if it wasn’t for Elon Musk, how long would it take before we figured out an electric car? You know, I mean, Elon was a part of Tesla early on, and Tesla’s been around I mean, I remember the first time I saw a Tesla. God, I feel like it was like the early 2000s.”

He recalled the saying that the first person he saw driving a Tesla on the streets was Bill Maher in LA. What made the experience more memorable was the Maher’s license plate, which wrote “F*** OPEC.” It’s quite astonishing to see how much electric cars have evolved and made their mark on the motor industries. Rogan shows his appreciation for Musk whenever he gets a chance. The CEO of Tesla doesn’t skip a beat to do the same thing.
