Did Joe Rogan swap loyalties? Podcast titan abandons pal Elon Musk for Mark Zuckerberg's Threads, Internet labels him 'centrist'
AUSTIN, TEXAS: Amid the intense feud between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, Joe Rogan appears to have made a surprising move. The relationship between these two tech giants is strained, as demonstrated by their recent exchange of words. What began as a series of exchanges on social media soon escalated into a challenge for an MMA fight, with Musk and Zuckerberg calling each other out.
Interestingly, Musk involved Rogan, the renowned host of 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast, in the potential fight against Zuckerberg. Musk expressed his desire for Rogan to serve as the referee for the anticipated showdown, adding an intriguing twist to the situation.
Did Joe Rogan abandon Elon Musk?
Rogan's decision to join Threads can be attributed to a specific incident that sparked curiosity and anticipation among social media users. The platform generated significant buzz on the internet, capturing the attention of even the most dedicated Twitter enthusiasts. This anticipation played a key role in attracting Rogan and piquing the interest of a wide range of individuals. The prevailing belief is that individuals migrating to Zuckerberg's new platform are those who express dissatisfaction with recent changes implemented on Twitter. Since Musk took charge of the bird-themed app, he has introduced significant modifications that have left many users discontented.
Threads was released on July 6, 2023, and within the initial hours, its founder reported that tens of millions of people had already joined the platform. Astonishingly, among those early adopters was none other than Joe Rogan himself! As a longtime friend of Musk, Rogan became one of the first celebrities to create an account on Threads. Despite not having made a single post yet, Rogan has already amassed an impressive following of 510K on Threads.
'The centrist is on Threads'
Rogan's decision to leave his friend Musk's Twitter account sparked controversy among his fans, leading many to question his loyalty to their friendship. A user wrote, "Wait, WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!
