Joe Rogan recently shared his thoughts on a viral street interview featuring Don Lemon and an unidentified man while shedding light on Elon Musk's alleged presidency over Donald Trump. The man delivered a sharp critique of mainstream media and questioned the reliability of widely accepted news outlets like The Washington Post, ABC News, and The New York Times.
He claimed that "common men" no longer trust traditional media, suggesting that independent voices have taken the reins in shaping public opinion. Rogan found the man's perspective eye-opening, describing it as a much-needed challenge to conventional narratives.
The conversation between Rogan and podcast guest Duncan Trussell revolved around Don Lemon's mention of a satirical claim, where Musk was referred to as 'President Musk.' At the same time, Trump, who recently won the 2024 U.S. presidential elections, was being portrayed as the "Vice President of Communications."
Speaking about the exchange, Rogan appreciated the man’s ability to deconstruct assumptions tied to authority. The UFC color commentator also highlighted the irony of trusting sources simply because they are established. He said:

"That guy just geniusly broke down this illogical assumption that because it's on the accepted sources it must be true... Maybe we have the good guy super genius on our side. And this idea that he's [Musk] doing it for money, 'Hey you f*cking halfwits, he has all the money. He has more money than anybody."

Joe Rogan doubts Donald Trump will ever reveal UFO secrets
Joe Rogan recently expressed skepticism about president-elect Donald Trump's willingness to share classified UFO details after recent mysterious drone sightings. Discussing the issue with filmmaker James Fox on his podcast, Rogan criticized the government’s handling of the incidents in states like New Jersey and New York.
He noted Trump’s evasive stance during their October interview, where the president-elect dismissed belief in extraterrestrial activity. Rogan argued that while the government likely knows the drones' origins, officials prefer to keep the public in suspense. Speaking about Trump disclosing significant UFO-related information, Rogan said:
"When I confronted Mr. Trump, he was very cagey, very cagey…He didn’t tell me sh*t. It was basically like neither confirm nor deny. I think he knows something, I [just] don’t think he’s interested. When you think of the capabilities of the United States military, it doesn’t make any sense they can’t figure out what’s going on. I think what Trump said is probably correct that the government knows... They know what’s happening and they don’t want to tell people."
