The saga began when Joe Rogan was involved in a controversy. That’s when Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski sent an email to Rogan. In the email, Pavlovski wrote, “Dear Joe, we stand with you, your guests and your legion of fans in desire for real conversation.” The mail further mentioned an offer to Rogan. It read, “So we’d like to offer you 100 million reasons to make the world a better place.”

The mail further mentioned that Rogan would receive no censorship if he brings his podcast to Rumble. The mail stated, “How about you bring all your shows to Rumble, both old and new, with no censorship, for 100 million bucks over four years? This is our last chance to save the world, and yes, this is totally legit.”
