When Joe Rogan discussed the emergence of Elon Musk-owned X as a video-watching platform

Joe Rogan was joined by tech-billionaire Elon Musk in episode #2223 of The Joe Rogan Experience. The pair talked about politics, technology, and a lot more in the podcast.

Musk bought X (previously Twitter) for a whopping $44 billion and introduced some key changes in the microblogging site which included its rebranding to X. Rogan highlighted the monopoly certain brands hold in their specific area of expertise in the segment. He mentioned Elon Musk's X as a platform that has recently emerged as an alternative allowing its users to watch full videos.

"It's always fascinating to me how one company can dominate a market. You know, Apple's dominated the cell phone market largely by making the best product but also like YouTube has dominated the video market. That one's the most bizarre to me. Because it seems like boy, shouldn't it be a ton of options? It seems like it's not that difficult to pull off."

He continued:

"But nothing ever took hold other than X. I think one of the big changes was when Tucker Carlson decided to do his show from X straight out of Fox and then people realized, 'Oh you could watch full videos on X the same exact way you can watch them on YouTube."
