The important takeaway here isn't just that Joe Rogan is stupid - he is - but that he parrots the opinion of whoever he last talked to. And he has been talking a lot with Peter Thiel and people in Thiel's orbit. They recognize Rogan as a useful idiot and launder ideas through his show.

We’re already helping to fund the Russian war effort and we’ve basically ended all other aid to Ukraine. Why the fuck should the Ukrainians care about our threats anymore.
Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · yesterdayUS warned the Ukrainians that Washington might cut off intelligence sharing with Kyiv if it will continue strikes on Russian refineries. The Americans also informed their Ukrainian counterparts that the US was set to lift sanctions on Russian diesel and that Moscow intended to lift its export ban.
Way too many people are responding to this saying that it would involve paying musk money, when the option of seizing all his assets after prosecuting him for fraud and election interference and his many many other alleged and sometimes almost seemingly admitted crimes is like… right there.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

Musk advocating for Quebec separatism then following it up by saying Alberta & Saskatchewan should leave too gives away this is just about dissolving Canada for being lib, but I'm glad he's too dumb to realize it undermines separatists' chances by further associating them with right-wing Americanism
