Everyone loves a win-win situation. After The Joe Rogan Experience Episode #1805 with Mike Tyson, Rogan appeared on the Hotboxin podcast with Mike Tyson. It seemed like an extended conversation that they had in The JRE, but Mike Tyson switched things up for guest Joe Rogan this time. Despite the same two guests, the two of them had refreshing new topics and how Joe Rogan has been seeing the world since 2022.

Mike Tyson and co-host Sebastian Joseph-Day talked to Rogan about his controversies and the backlash that he suffered during the start of 2022. The trio talked about the cancel culture and various other topics. Coming to speech-induced controversies, Rogan began talking about the latest Twitter fiasco with Elon Musk.

The Tesla CEO recently stated that he wanted to buy Twitter for $43 billion. Despite being the largest single shareholder in the company, he wants the whole company.

Talking about his stance on the billionaire trying to buy the company, Rogan stated, “I hope he buys Twitter because he’s committed to the idea of free speech. We can’t have people dictating what people can talk. They did some things where they wouldn’t allow people to get links to certain news stories they thought would be unfavorable towards particular candidates. Like that sh*t’s dangerous. Like you’re controlling elections.”

Joe Rogan and his trials and tribulations with free speech

Rogan is not new to controversies. And with controversies come the backlash and cancel culture on social media. Things were really in a dangerous spot for Joe Rogan’s career, following his controversies at the start of 2022.

Joe Rogan has been against the censorship and masking of free speech. This is for individuals and celebrities on social media alike, for a long time now. The UFC commentator has been expressing his disdain and anger at social media platforms against free speech for many years now. Moreover, Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter resulted in a massive paradigm change globally.

Joe Rogan stated that he would have to quit the podcasting scene and other social ventures if he had to be walking on eggshells from here on out. Given how explicit and open his conversations are, his content addresses many controversies that most other podcasts don’t.
