Elon Musk made his fourth appearance Tuesday on Joe Rogan’s podcast–and did not disappoint.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, the Tesla CEO admitted he still wants to fight Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, joked about Hamas (“Hummus? Chickpeas? Maybe we should cut off chickpea exports”), and spoke in-depth about his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, now X, including a wild monologue on the woke “mind virus” and “zombie apocalypse” it threatens to usher in.
The pair were drinking a whiskey-colored liquid and smoking cigars during their conversation, and donned costumes for the podcast’s Halloween episode.
Musk, wearing a silk scarf around his neck and a long jacket, described himself as “half-dressed as the wizard of Australia”—while Rogan wore a Puerto Rico baseball jersey and blond wig.
During the nearly three-hour episode, Musk said his purchase of the social media platform was a “recipe for trouble,” but that he went through with it because he was worried it was “having a corrosive effect on civilization.”
