He further expressed, “We’re like, ‘Yes. The great one.’ He’s the super intelligent leader-type character that seems to have great ethics and morals, too. And he seems to be like a guy, like, if you got a movie character, and the movie character was like this super billionaire who didn’t give a f**k, but he was super f**king smart, and he was really genuinely working to save humanity. That’s that guy.”

During the episode #1794 of the JRE, with an air of excitement, Rogan shared the details, stating to his guest Monty Franklin, “Elon Musk wants – he wants to fight Putin. Have you seen that?”

Billionaire Owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, Goes Off on Joe Rogan & Elon Musk After Peter Hotez Podcast Debate Proposal

As Joe Rogan and Dr. Peter Hotez engaged in a heated Twitter debate, billionaire Mark Cuban entered the conversation and criticized Rogan for his derogatory remarks about the pharmaceutical industry. Cuban posted a lengthy tweet expressing his views and even brought Elon Musk into the discussion.

Cuban’s entire tweet:

“Way to talk in generalities Joe. Not saying there aren’t a lot of fucked up things about pharma. That’s why we created Costplusdrugs.com. But to ignore that the same industry has saved who knows how many lives is bullsh*t and you know it.
It’s also disrespectful to all the doctors, researchers and medical professionals that dedicate their lives to saving lives, like Dr Hotez and the 800k plus doctors in the country that believe vaccines save lives

You arent trying to find the ground truth on vaccines. If you were you would bring on someone who focused on debating the issue. Like
@thereal_truther.

Trying to bully Dr Hotez is ridiculous. You have producers that will prepare you and you get to control the conversation.

@RobertKennedyJr also has a staff ready to prepare him, and these topics are what he talks about in every speech.

You both do this on a daily basis Dr Hotez works every day to try to find ways to help people.

Joe , you and @elonmusk’s @twitter are the mainstream online media and your platforms have become everything supposedly wrong with MSM. You are driven by self interest. Just like the MSM always has been accused of.
And you both have earned that right. You busted your asses to be great at what you do and earned all you have accomplished.
But don’t lie to yourselves and all of us and tell us you are different. You aren’t.”

Owing to the fact that his voice holds such significance, Joe Rogan surely gets his share of backlash, too.
