Joe Rogan Discloses Elon Musk’s Real Intentions Behind Buying Twitter but Worried About the Consequences

Joe Rogan, like many of us, was observing Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter with a keen eye. The millionaire host of The Joe Rogan Experience was excited when news first broke of the historic purchase. Recently, Rogan questioned how effectively Musk would be able to implement his vision on Twitter.

According to Musk, one of the fundamental reasons he purchased Twitter was to ensure free speech on the platform. However, that task is proving to be easier said than done. Rogan discussed the same during a recent episode of his podcast.

Joe Rogan listed the hurdles to implementing free speech on Twitter

On JRE episode #1898, Joe Rogan hosted stand-up comedian Neal Brennan. The conversation between the pair lasted above three hours. During their talk, Rogan gave his thoughts on the hurdles of free speech implementation on Twitter.

Commenting on the recent events, the 55-year-old said, “Well, I don’t know what their expectation is either, but what he wanted to do was have a place where people could actually debate things and talk about things and not worry about being censored because you have a different philosophy…”

He continued, “But whether or not you can do that at scale and not have any content moderation at all. Like, what would the content moderation be like? Would it be like exactly what Twitter had in place?… Or do you do it in a different way? Are you more lenient? And if you are more lenient, then what are the consequences of that?”

Rogan’s comments are valid, especially considering the recent events on Twitter. The bird app faced some backlash state after the new methods of verification left users even more confused than before.

Twitter recently faced some financial setbacks also after the fresh changes rolled in. Rogan gave his insights on those issues as well.

Rogan on consequences of free speech for Twitter revenue

Joe Rogan stated his opinion that free speech on Twitter might make advertisers think twice about using the platform. In theory, the new Twitter policies would give users free rein to state their views. There is undoubtedly a potential risk in advertising on such a platform.

Rogan said, “What if the advertisers decide they don’t want to use you anymore because they’re not confident of their products being advertised on a website where people have no restrictions on what they can say, which is actually happening.”

The latest Eli Lilly Twitter fiasco is a perfect example of how Twitter’s new policies can harm advertisers. A few days ago, an unofficial Eli Lilly Twitter account with a blue check tweeted that their insulin would be free. This tweet cost the pharmaceutical giants billions in stock value. Recent reports suggest that the company has pulled its ads from Twitter.
