“He’s Afraid” – Elon Musk Goes Off on Twitter After Joe Rogan’s $100,000 Challenge to Robert F. Kennedy Naysayer Peter Hotez for a Debate

The netizens raised their brows when Joe Rogan got involved in a debate on Twitter. Recently, Dr Peter Hotez, a leading vaccine researcher involved in developing Corbevax (a vaccine for COVID) claimed that the UFC color commentator and his guest, Robert R. Kennedy Jr., were spreading misinformation on the JRE podcast. The debate indeed caught a shipload of attention.

Following Hotez’s tweet, Rogan responded with a generous offer. He put forth a massive sum of $100,000 for charity and asked the scientist to have a debate with Kennedy Jr. on his show. Surprisingly, the offer caught the attention of Elon Musk. The owner of Twitter then took to the comments section and shared his thoughts.
