Joe Rogan takes issue with an article claiming physical fitness is a ‘far-right’ approach: Elon Musk reacts

Recently, Joe Rogan criticized an article that linked fitness with far-right extremism. The article highlighted how the rise of online physical fitness was initially due to COVID-19 but has been taken over by right-wing groups to promote hyper-masculinity. Rogan said, “Being healthy is “far right.” Holy f*ck.” It surprised Joe Rogan to learn that some people have attached a negative notion regarding fitness.

However, he was not the only one to have reacted to the article. SpaceX CEO and $245 billion-worth Elon Musk also shared a tweet in response to Rogan. He mentioned how reality is slowly merging with parody in the current generation. He tweeted, “Parody & reality are becoming indistinguishable.” The article not only talked about putting fitness in a negative light but also pointed fingers at combat sports like mixed martial arts.

What did they write in the article?

According to the controversial article, physical fitness, especially MMA, is used to recruit young people in far-right extremist organizations. The piece draws comparisons between current Europe and Hitler’s regime. That regime pushed for boxing and jiu-jitsu training for its troops.

The article also mentioned that Ukraine and France are two countries where people use gyms as centers for right-weight training purposes. Meanwhile, it praised countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, and Poland for their efforts to stop that phenomenon.
