Tesla CEO Elon Musk has expressed agreement with Joe Rogan’s concerns about the potential threat to the First Amendment posed by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
What Happened: On Saturday, Musk reposted a post by user “KanekoaTheGreat,” which quoted Rogan’s warning during one of the episodes of his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” about the potential danger to the First Amendment if Harris and Walz win.
Rogan’s concerns revolved around the possibility of increased censorship and the potential loss of privileges for individuals like Musk on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
Rogan’s comments were made in the context of Harris and Walz’s stance on misinformation and hate speech, which they believe should not be protected under the First Amendment.
“Joe Rogan is absolutely right,” Musk wrote.
Why It Matters: Musk’s endorsement of Rogan’s views is noteworthy given the latter’s recent interaction with Chamath Palihapitiya, where they discussed the media’s portrayal of former president Donald Trump.
Musk, who is supporting Trump in the upcoming elections to be held in November, had earlier donated a significant amount to support House Republicans, indicating his political leanings.
