The Tesla CEO believes Rogan has done nothing evil. Also, the MMA fanatic is the only one who provides a viable alternative to what Musk terms as ‘Mainstream Media’
On Monday, the richest man on the planet shared a hilarious and ironic meme on Neil Young in reply to scientist Lex Friedman’s tweet in support of Rogan. “If you won’t censor the guy I don’t like, I won’t let you listen to ‘Keep on rocking in the free world,'” the meme stated.

For context, demands were being raised to remove Rogan’s podcast from Spotify. i.e. The same company Rogan signed a $100 million deal with back in 2020.

Spearheading the removal of Rogan’s podcast was Neil Young. The country musician threatened to remove his music from the platform if they did not meet his demands. However, he fell flat as Spotify continued with JRE and removed Young from their platform.
Elon Musk opines Joe Rogan is crushing mainstream media
The richest man on the planet and CEO of multiple ventures, including SpaceX, and Tesla, Elon Musk, has been a longtime admirer of the veteran UFC commentator.
A few years back, Musk even joined Rogan on his podcast. In the episode, both of them talked about a lot of curious and burning topics.
With that said, Musk believes that Rogan is a viable alternative to mainstream media, as he doesn’t have a major bias. He tweeted-
(Formerly) mainstream media has systemic negative & political bias about almost everything. Reading major newspapers makes you feel sad & angry. That’s why they’re being crushed by @joerogan. Likes/retweets of old media are extremely low. Ironic article:https://t.co/78uftW0P6t
