Elon Musk & Joe Rogan are CRASHING HARD
The Art of Value host JJ reacts to and discusses several podcasts which break down how both Joe Rogan and Tesla CEO Elon Musk are crashing hard. Joe Rogan no longer has the most popular podcast in the world, being dislodged by liberal political podcast Meidas Touch @MeidasTouch. Rogan’s decline seems to have a lot to do with his constant worshipping of Elon Musk and Tesla. Elon himself is continuing to crash in multiple ways, with something new seemingly on a daily basis that many people are highly critical of, including his trans daughter Vivian Wilson.Referenced videosJoe Rogan SINKS In Massive Ratings Crash As Followers Abandon Him Over This | The Damage Report https://youtu.be/6p_Q_EINeocJoe Rogan Simps For Elon So Hard His Brain Turns To Dust | The Kyle Kulinski Show https://youtu.be/aDOjy4gtCREElon Musk's Daughter Calls Him "Cringe" in New Interview | Pivot https://youtu.be/pSLKhMczbPgDisclaimer: I am not a financial adviser and nothing in this content is financial advice.
