On episode #2269 of The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)<\/em>, the UFC<\/a> commentator welcomed Bret Weinstein, an evolutionary biologist, author and podcaster. During their interaction, Rogan and Weinstein shared their take on Elon Musk and his impact on the U.S. presidential elections.<\/p>\n The pair covered a host of topics during their near three-hour chat, including Musk and Donald Trump’s recent election win.<\/p>\n Bret Weinstein then opted to praise the Space X CEO, believing his acquisition of X (formerly Twitter) and the way he runs the platform played a major role in the presidential elections. According to Weinstein, Musk could have very easily remained silent, but instead he “showed” courage by using X to openly declare his support for Trump. He explained:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n “To watching Elon [during the elections] was remarkable. Of course, in Elon’s position, he could have done what [Mark] Zuckerberg does. He could have played it safe, kept his options open and done what he was told and apologise for it later. That wasn’t what Musk did. He had the courage of his convictions. His liberation of X set the stage for this election to even happen.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Get the latest updates on One Championship Rankings<\/a> at Sportskeeda and more<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He continued:<\/p>\n “Once you have one, any social media platform that doesn’t allow you to speak freely is at a competitive disadvantage. Elon freeing X actually liberated the others [social media platforms] and they’re beginning to move in the right direction. Frankly, it’s part of why this era feels different.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Check out <\/em>Joe Rogan<\/a><\/em> and Bret Weinstein’s full conversation here (47:10):<\/em><\/p>\n
