Joe Rogan explains how Elon Musk offering to buy Twitter shows he \u201ccares\u201d The Joe Rogan ExperienceJoe Rogan believes Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter because he \u201ccares\u201d about freedom of speech and is concerned about censorship rather than being motivated purely by financial gain. After Elon Musk invested $3 billion into Twitter and started pitching ideas to improve the platform, the enigmatic billionaire is reportedly considering buying the company outright. He was going to join the board too, but that fell through. Joe Rogan was all for him investing in the company, and during a recent episode of The Joe Rogan experience, he claimed Musk\u2019s desire to buy it is motivated because he \u201ccares\u201d about freedom of speech. \u201cI think he does care. He does. Genuinely,\u201d said Rogan. \u201cHe\u2019s concerned about censorship. He said freedom of speech is someone you don\u2019t like saying something you don\u2019t want to hear. He goes, they have to have that right. It\u2019s essential to democracy.\u201d Rogan thinks most people \u201cobjectively agree\u201d with Musk. However, he believes they are too \u201cscared\u201d to speak up because they \u201csee how mobs of people can move in a very negative direction\u201d on social media platforms. \u201cThey\u2019ve done this campaign over the last few years to silence certain voices and stop aggressive people and stop people being sh***y to people. Some of that is good. But it\u2019s like, where does it end, and how do you know where it ends? You don\u2019t. That\u2019s where it\u2019s weird.\u201d Rogan believes Musk\u2019s decision to make an offer to buy Twitter was motivated by a desire to change that instead of being purely driven by financial gain. However, the board is reportedly planning to stop it from happening. Even if it doesn\u2019t happen, though, Musk remains the largest shareholder in the company today. For that reason, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal said Musk will still influence the company\u2019s decisions, just to a lesser extent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
