Joe Rogan defends Elon Musk amid Tesla plant criticism PowerfulJRE, YouTubePopular podcast host Joe Rogan has defended Elon Musk against recent criticism, after Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu legend Eddie Bravo revealed his doubts about the tech billionaire\u2019s true intentions. Elon Musk, who only recently appeared on the JRE podcast, has received some backlash in April and May of 2020, over his opinions and actions against some of the lockdown measures in California, after revealing he was eager to get back to work. During the latest episode of Joe Rogan\u2019s fight companion on May 16, recurring guest Eddie Bravo, who is known for some of his wild theories, explained his concerns about Elon Musk. Elon Musk recently announced that he would be resuming operations at one of his Tesla plants, despite many critics arguing against it, and Eddie Bravo posited his theory that it could be part of a plan to extend some of the lockdown measures further. While he himself hoped his theory would turn out to be incorrect, Eddie turned to Joe for his opinions on the latest criticisms and theories around the popular entrepreneur. \u201cEddie you have to listen to his words and see what his actions are,\u201d Joe explained in defense of Musk. \u201cHe \u2013 against the government of California \u2013 opened up his plant. He said, \u2018If you\u2019re going to arrest someone, arrest me\u2019.\u201d Topic starts Joe continued to argue on the tech entrepreneur\u2019s behalf, adding, \u201cIf you think this is some three-way game it\u2019s ridiculous, the guy invests all his own money in his businesses.\u201d \u201cThink about it, who on the planet is more innovative than that guy, that guy is doing crazy s**t man. He\u2019s digging tunnels to Vegas, he\u2019s shooting rockets into space and making these most-insane electric cars,\u201d Rogan said, later highlighting many of Elon\u2019s accomplishments. However, he then finished up by assuring Eddie and his viewers that he felt like he had a good understanding of the Tesla CEO after meeting with him on multiple occasions. \u201cI\u2019ve talked to the guy a few times Eddie Bravo, he\u2019s a super genius, they exist.\u201d Rogan is clearly a fan of Elon\u2019s work and has invited him to on the podcast twice before with the most recent appearance only days after the birth of the billionaire\u2019s new child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
