The 6 biggest talking points from Joe Rogan's podcast with Elon Musk
The 6 biggest talking points from Joe Rogan's podcast with Elon Musk
Elon Musk rocked up on The Joe Rogan Experience once again this week – and as you’d expect, there were plenty of talking points. His appearances on the show have always raised eyebrows. The first time he was on The Joe Rogan Experience, Musk made a splash by smoking (and choking on) a large joint. This time was no different, with Musk kicking off by lighting a cigar and speaking to Rogan, who was wearing a blonde wig and a Puerto Rico shirt throughout the interview to mark Halloween. Here are the biggest talking points from the new interview. Shooting a Tesla Cybertruck The long-awaited Tesla Cybertruck is (finally) almost here, and the pair talked about the durability of the build construction of the new model. Then, Rogan took things into his own hands and made a modest $1 bet with Musk, one of the richest people on the planet, that he could pierce the bodywork by shooting it with a bow and arrow. He then took himself down to the garage Musk’s car was parked in and shot it – in the end, it was Musk who won the bet. Slamming George Soros Musk once again criticised billionaire financier and philanthropist George Soros, who previously annoyed Musk by dumping Tesla stock. “He is, I believe, the top contributor to the Democratic party. The second one was Sam Bankman-Fried,” Musk said. “And Soros, he had a very difficult upbringing… In my opinion, he fundamentally hates humanity. That's my opinion.” He went on to criticise Soros by saying: “He's doing things that erode the fabric of civilization - getting DAs elected who refuse to prosecute crime. “That's part of the problem in San Francisco, and LA, and a bunch of other cities.” Buying Twitter to prevent the “mind virus” Discussing why he wanted to buy Twitter in the first place, Musk said that he wanted to save civilisation. “This is going to sound melodramatic but I was worried that it was having a corrosive effect on civilization,” he said. “Just having a bad impact.” He blamed the city of San Francisco, where the headquarters of the company is located, on liberal attitudes “infecting” staff. “I think part of it is where it's located - which is downtown San Francisco. While I think San Francisco is a beautiful city and we should fight really hard to right the ship of San Francisco. “But if you walk around downtown San Francisco, right near the X headquarters, it's the zombie apocalypse. It's really rough.” He added: “That philosophy is one which was being piped to earth. So, a philosophy that would ordinarily be quite niche, and quite restrained, so the fallout area was limited, was effectively given as an information weapon. Musk went on to say: “Information technology weapon to propagate what is essentially a mind virus to earth. “And the mind virus is very clear if you walk the streets of downtown San Francisco. It is the end of civilization.” Poking fun at Meta’s Threads The pair then discussed the noise surrounding Meta’s Threads, which was launched as a rival to Twitter in the summer. Rogan spoke about the mass emigration to the new social media platform. While it seemed popular at first, the number of regular users has dropped off dramatically. The host said: “It just dropped off within a couple of weeks. Now it's a f***ing ghost town." Musk added: "I mean, [Mark Zuckerberg] himself doesn't post. You gotta use your own product." Claiming Zuckerberg pulled out of their fight Remember back in the summer? It was a simpler time, when two of the richest men on the planet vowed to knock seven bells out of each other in a fight – that never actually happened. Musk and Meta’s Zuckerberg supposedly agreed to fight each other a while back and it never happened. Now, though, Musk claimed during the interview with Rogan that it was Zuckerberg and not him who pulled out of the bout. “I’ll fight you any place, anywhere, under any rules,” Musk stated. Sharing Covid conspiracy theories and criticising people who choose to wear masks Musk spent a chunk of the interview claiming that ventilators used during the pandemic damaged the lungs of patients, saying that the “treatment is worse than the disease”. He and Rogan also went on to criticise people who still chose to wear masks, with Rogan saying: "I think you're gonna be okay [without the mask]. You're probably not gonna be okay breathing that f****ing same air in that mask and all the bacteria spitting out." "Most of the time, a mask is not good for you,” Musk added.

'Unlicensed' practitioner who injected Kim Kardashian lookalike faces charges
'Unlicensed' practitioner who injected Kim Kardashian lookalike faces charges
Kim Kardashian lookalike, Christina Ashten Gourkani, sadly died last month a day after receiving a cosmetic procedure. Now, the alleged "unlicensed" practitioner could face charges. The 34-year-old OnlyFans model suffered a cardiac arrest on April 20. According to San Mateo County District, it came a day after she was believed to have received "several injections" of silicone in her buttocks. The practitioner allegedly did not have a licence to practice medicine. According to The Daily Post, the woman was arrested at Fort Lauderdale Airport and will allegedly be extradited to Redwood City. The outlet claims the practitioner will be charged with involuntary manslaughter and practising medicine without a license resulting in great bodily injury. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Last month, Gourkani's family set up a GoFundMe page for the model to raise funds for the funeral. "After arriving at the hospital shortly after the phone call our family continued living a nightmare as we were informed that her health and wellbeing had continued to decline in a downward spiral for the worse after suffering from a cardiac arrest," the post read. It continued: "Her sudden and tragic passing is currently being investigated as a homicide related to a medical procedure that took a turn for the worse. For the privacy of Christina Ashten, our family and the investigation no other details will be shared at this time." Since the news of her death, people flooded Gourkani's Instagram posts with heartbroken comments. "RIP My Angel. I still can't believe it. I have no words. We will always miss you," one person wrote while another added: "OMG NO WAYYYYY YOU WERE SUCH A SWEAT SOUL.. IM LOST FOR WORDS RIGHT NOW." A third penned: "My sweet angel baby!!!!!! RIP. My heart is broken." Indy100 reached out to Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office for comment. Have your say in our news democracy.

'Bella Hadid body measurement' TikTok trend branded 'toxic'
'Bella Hadid body measurement' TikTok trend branded 'toxic'
A new "toxic" trend is taking over TikTok that involves people comparing their body measurements to Bella Hadid – and some users are concerned. While social media can sometimes be a force for good, other corners of the internet have received several side eyes for their damaging messages. A quick TikTok search into 'Bella Hadid measurements' will reveal hundreds of videos of people sharing their measurements. As we know, Hadid is a supermodel and the comparisons haven't sat easily with many users, as it perpetuates unrealistic beauty standards. "When Bella Hadid’s measurements are 34-24-32 and mine are 31-22-33," one person wrote in a viral clip that's racked up almost half a million likes. The TikToker went on to call the measurements a "big flex in my life." Another person wrote: "POV I have the same measurements as Bella Hadid, nothing can hurt my feelings, I don't care". Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter While the clips are seemingly intended to be lighthearted, many more TikTokers have hit back at its "toxic" roots – especially given TikTok is predominantly a Gen-Z app. Creator Felix (@fmjat) raised the concern, asking viewers: "Aren’t these Bella Hadid measurements low-key a step back backward and hypocritical?" @fmjat bare in mind these are the same gurlies saying all bodys r beautiful ?? #bellahadid #bodypositivity #models #modelcommunity #bodyimage His clip was met with people who agreed on the matter, with one writing: "Like.. the trend is so bad for impressionable teens/ppl on this app with eating disorders." Another user simply put it: "The fixation on bodies is tiring." Meanwhile, a third person chimed in: "Can we all say the things we like ab our bodies and accept the fact that we’re all gonna see things we don’t relate to without freaking out."
