Elon Musk Thinks Real Life Matrix is Possible and Smokes Weed on \u2018Joe Rogan Experience\u2019 Tesla Motors founder and tech billionaire Elon Musk sat down on \u2018The Joe Rogan Experience\u2019 to share an interesting take on social media and technology \u2013 and smoked a blunt, too. Joe Rogan, host of his podcast \u2018The Joe Rogan Experience,\u2019 discussed a plethora of topics with Elon Musk, including the idea that technology could lead to a Matrix-like simulation in the future. They started down that rabbit-hole with a discussion on the dangers of social media, where Musk expressed that platforms like Instagram reflect only the best facets of the human experience. Musk held that social media interactions such as this lead to depression in others, who feel that their lives should live up to the glamour of Instagram models and social media stars. Rogan expressed a curiosity as to where social media could take civilization in the future \u2013 and Elon\u2019s response was nothing short of fascinating. Musk stated that technology will be \u2018indistinguishable from reality,\u2019 and, when prompted by Rogan on whether or not he entertained the idea of a \u2018simulation,\u2019 appeared to confirm his sentiments. \u201cIf you assume any rate of improvement at all, games will be indistinguishable from reality \u2013 or civilization will end. Or, we are most likely in a simulation.\u201d Elon also indulged in certain recreational drugs during the podcast. Joe randomly produced a cigarette containing tobacco and marijuana in the middle of the show and lit it, sharing it with Musk, who innocently asked, \u201cIs that a joint?\u201d Elon\u2019s consumption of the drug might have gone against Tesla company policy. According to an article on NBC News, Tesla\u2019s stock has plummeted 9% since the episode aired on September 6.
