Elon Musk knows the Internet cannot be defeated

While social media is a great place for celebrities to connect with their fans, it can get negative sometimes. Both Joe Rogan and Musk have a proper grasp over this fact and know the internet cannot be defeated. This further enhances the importance of using social media with extreme caution.

Rogan pinpointed how one wrong move can forever remain on the internet, which can sling a lot of mud your way,” Like I deleted it, nahhh not good enough. You have that thought, I am better than you. I never had that thought. You had that thought, you piece of s*t, look I saved it and I put it on my blog.”

Musk & Rogan went to great lengths to talk about how things remain on the internet forever and any comment you make can and will be used against you. While Rogan joked about how anything you say or do on the internet comes back to haunt you, Musk drew the comparison with high school, and how it tarnishes your image as a ‘permanent record’. 

He said,” I am not sure why people think that, that anyone would think that deleting a tweet makes it go away. It’s like hello. It will be on the Internet for a while.”
