“You Won’t Be Missed”: Elon Musk Reacts to Joe Rogan as He Lays “Cancel Culture” to Rest

Joe Rogan has been a keen observer of the Elon Musk-Twitter saga since its beginning. The longtime UFC commentator never shies away from hiding his excitement for Musk taking over the popular social media platform. Rogan believed that Musk wanted to facilitate free speech on Twitter, a space that was notorious for stringent political correctness and rampant cancel culture.

In a recent episode of JRE, Rogan summed up the changes he saw since Musk’s takeover of the bird app. He was talking to his guest, Matt Taibbi, in episode #1940. A clip of an exchange between the pair surfaced on Twitter and prompted a reaction from Musk himself.

While Musk’s response suggested he agreed with Rogan’s comments, there were quite a few responses that disagreed with the pair as well.

What Joe Rogan said about cancel culture

Joe Rogan has always been vocal against cancel culture. During the pandemic era, Rogan faced the threat of cancelation himself as some of his podcast episodes got mired in controversy. However, the former ‘Fear Factor’ host survived those trying times and is one of Spotify’s biggest assets today.

Commenting on the change in the atmosphere on Twitter, Rogan said, “When someone types something on Twitter now, and it’s ridiculous, now people aren’t scared to go in after it. They’re not worried about losing their account, which they were before; which is, I think, one of the more interesting things about Elon Musk buying Twitter.”

One user made a note of Musk’s wishful thinking.

Another said that cancel culture may not truly ever be uprooted.

More users joined in on wishing the practice came to an end.
