Joe Rogan has never been one to shy away from discussing many different non-combat sports related issues and topics on his JRE podcast.
Rogan spoke with comedian Kurt Metzger on episode #1903 of JRE. He reflected on the controversy surrounding Twitter after Elon Musk, who purchased the social media platform, was criticized for firing the majority of Twitter's workforce. He said:
"He learned some s**t and I think that's probably why everybody got fired. He probably felt like a lot of people weren't neccesary or he wanted to put all new people in. But also from the things he said publicly, there's some s**t going down. What those people were supposed to do and what they were actually doing and the way they were censoring people, it was real."

"Some way or another it's (shadow banning) allowed. You and I are probably both on it...Well, all these people are freaking out because Elon is opening the gates to everybody to come back...He's like, if you haven't commited a crime, you should come back."
Twitter has been a hot topic ever since the billionaire purchased the platform, and Rogan has been complimentary of some of the changes Musk has made.
