However, it doesn’t seem like the negative reception from the internet is having any effect on them at all. Rogan has returned back to hosting his shows on a routine basis and has invited many notable guests from MrBeast to India’s spiritual yogi, Sadhguru.
Elon Musk offered his thoughts on the matter and stated that mainstream media is wrong about comedian, Russell Brand. He also claimed that he found his podcast to be insightful, balanced as he went through his videos.
With so many mainstream media companies saying @rustyrockets is crazy/dangerous, I watched some of his videos. Ironically, he seemed more balanced & insightful than those condemning him!
The groupthink among major media companies is more troubling. There should be more dissent.

Another prominent figure in Jordan B. Peterson also addressed the matter and shared his own thoughts on the matter. He disagreed with the general perception and raised a question for the fans to answer.

Musk shared a rather hilarious tweet in response to Spotify’s decision not to remove Rogan from the platform. The meme contained a picture of popular rock musician Neil Young with a message. It is quite clear that no matter what happens in the world, Musk will always stand by his friend and isn’t scared of sharing what he feels.
