Joe Rogan claims that Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter simply because he “cares” about freedom of speech, and is considerate of censorship.
American podcaster Joe Rogan believes Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter isn’t purely motivated by financial gain. To recall, the business magnate recently invested $3 billion into Twitter and started sharing ideas to improve the platform.
Now, the word on the street is that the enigmatic billionaire is prepping to buy the company outright. Moreover, he was going to join the Twitter board but later decided against joining the board.
Joe Rogan supported Musk’s decision to invest in the company. In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the 54-year-old UFC commentator revealed what he believes was the motivation behind Musk’s offer to buy Twitter.
Joe Rogan Explains Why Elon Musk Wants To Buy Twitter
According to Rogan, Musk wants to buy the social media platform because he “cares” about freedom of speech. “I think he does care. He does. Genuinely,” said Rogan.
“He’s concerned about censorship. He said freedom of speech is someone you don’t like saying something you don’t want to hear. He goes, they have to have that right. It’s essential to democracy.”
Furthermore, Rogan thinks a lot of people “objectively agree” with Musk. However, he believes these people are too “scared” to speak up because they “see how mobs of people can move in a very negative direction” on social media platforms.
“They’ve 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’s like, where does it end, and how do you know where it ends? You don’t. That’s where it’s weird.”
Regardless of what Rogan believes about Musk’s decision to buy Twitter, the board is sparing no effort to stop it from happening. Nevertheless, Musk remains the largest shareholder in the company today.
Notably, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal previously said Twitter will welcome inputs from Tesla CEO. In other words, Musk will continue to influence the company’s decisions.
