Elon Musk has no interest in who decides to play his role in a proposed Hollywood biopic about the rise of ‘Tesla’! The tech mogul was a guest on the JRE (Joe Rogan Experience) podcast episode no. 2054 in 2023 and the conversation between him and Joe Rogan touched upon various topics, including the struggles faced by Tesla in the automobile industry.

This wasn’t the first appearance Musk has made on the show, as he had his first foray into the world of the JRE in 2018 during episode no.1169, which led to many viral moments online. However, during the later appearance, Rogan suggested an idea for a ‘Tesla’ biopic which seemingly didn’t impress Musk!

During the conversation with Joe Rogan, Elon Musk revealed the challenges his company, Tesla, had to endure to survive during a period of upheaval for the automotive industry.

Musk revealed, “Even at this point, the only car companies that have not gone bankrupt are Ford and Tesla. General Motors went bankrupt and Chrysler went bankrupt in 2009, there’s some chance they’ll go bankrupt again. Ford and Tesla barely made it, it was incredibly difficult to keep Tesla alive, when General Motors and Chrysler were going bankrupt.”

As such, he went on to explain that the hardest part of running an automobile company is manufacturing vehicles. He stated, “Because manufacturing is the actual hard thing, by far the hard thing. I just can’t emphasize that enough and I hope somebody makes a movie about that.”

This prompted Rogan to chime in and exclaim, “Maybe they should make a movie about Tesla”, but Musk nonchalantly stated, “Sure”

However, when the podcast host tried to delve further into the idea of a biopic surrounding Musk’s involvement in Tesla by asking, “Who’d you want to play you?… How about David Spade?”, the Tesla boss responded by stating, “Anyone, I don’t care…” While Musk’s lack of interest in casting choices may have surprised some, it aligned with his overarching focus on Tesla’s mission and the challenges of innovation in the automotive industry.

Joe Rogan has praised Elon Musk, and even dubbed him the ‘top billionaire’ in his book! In episode 2063, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson joined Rogan, sharing stories from his WWE days to Hollywood stardom and they also discussed Musk’s innovative approach towards his various business ventures.

As such, Rogan confessed, “He is the best kind of billionaire to me, coz he does wild sh*t.” The podcast host admired Musk’s willingness to pursue wild ideas, labeling him the best kind of billionaire.

He also revealed that “He made the tip of the Space X rocket pointy because he wanted it to look more like the one on SpaceBalls. Literally, that’s literally what he did. He’s just a wild fella.”

Overall, the conversation shed light on influential minds like Musk’s and underscored Rogan’s deep respect for him. Elon Musk’s bold ventures and unique perspective continue to captivate not only Rogan but also audiences who tune into the JRE podcast worldwide!
