In episode #2269 of Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), UFC commentators welcomed evolutionary biologist, author and podcaster Bret Weinstein. During their interaction, Logan and Weinstein shared their views on Elon Musk and their impact on the US presidential election.
The pair covered a number of topics during their nearly three hours of chat, including Musk and Donald Trump’s recent election victory.
Brett Weinstein then chose to praise Space X CEO, believing that the acquisition of X (formerly Twitter) and the way the platform was run played a major role in the presidential election. According to Weinstein, Musk could have remained silent very easily, but instead “showed” her courage by using X to openly declare her support for Trump. He explained:
“It was amazing to see Elon (in the election). Of course, in Elon’s position he could have done what (Mark) Zuckerberg would have done. It was later, and he would have said that he would have been his. He had the courage to believe.

He continued:
“When you get one, social media platforms that can’t speak freely are at a competitive disadvantage. ElonFreeing X actually releases other people (social media platforms) and they’re in the right direction We are beginning to move to. Frankly, that’s part of why we feel different in this era.”

Joe Rogan makes clear what actually happened in the look of Kamala Harris’ JRE podcast
Joe Logan set a straightforward record of what actually happened during Kamala Harris’ planned appearance at JRE last year.
The Democratic candidates wanted to appear on the show during last year’s presidential election, but these plans never came to fruition. Since then, it was alleged that Harris’ campaign team provided them with a date why it didn’t happen, but later canceled it and appeared to interview Trump instead.
Logan then denied such allegations, stating that the proposal to choose Trump against Harris was simply not true. He said:
“This whole idea that we burned her and we told her to her for Trump — it’s wrong, it’s not true. One thing that Trump said was that It was that they lied about the day that was there. Come on, we had Trump going well (for example).
