Joe Rogan: Media Downplayed Elon Musk’s Astronaut Rescue

March 30, 2025 admin Celebrity Gossip 0

Joe Rogan learned firsthand how corrupt the legacy press can be.

The Spotify superstar took a gaggle of medications, including Ivermectin, after he tested positive for COVID-19 in 2021. The comic watched in horror as the press turned on him, suggesting he had ingested “horse paste” and not a Nobel Prize-winning drug.

His media Red Pilling commenced.

He’s been torching the press ever since, spreading the word to his loyal flock.

Now, he’s excoriating the media anew for something reporters didn’t do. They failed to highlight the incredible rescue of two stranded U.S. astronauts earlier this month.

Why? Elon Musk’s SpaceX saved the day. The legacy media loathes Musk.

It’s that simple.

Rogan invited the team behind “Triggernometry,” Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster, to his program Saturday. The comedians have become truth tellers of the first order, transcending political labels to speak clearly on the issues of the day.

Part of the “Joe Rogan Experience” chat focused on SpaceX’s mission to bring astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Suni Williams back to earth. They were on board a space station for more than nine months before the successful rescue operation.

It should have been a massive news story. It could even inspire a movie or TV miniseres some day. Heck, dolphins greeted the rescued astronauts’ capsule in a moment tailor-made for the big screen.

Instead, legacy media outlets covered it briefly and moved on. Nothing remarkable to see here. Move along.

And Rogan knows why.

“They’re trying to s*** on everything [Musk] does. Hide all the good stuff. We didn’t hear a peep about Elon rescuing those people,” Rogan said. “We should have had a live stream of it. It should have been a huge national event. ‘We’re finally gonna rescue the astronauts who were trapped on a space station for eight f***ing months. This supergenius, this Elon Musk character, is the guy who figured out how to go get them.’

The magnitude of the SpaceX rescue wasn’t lost on him.

“His company went and rescued them. We can’t do it anymore … we had to rely on his company,” he said.

The rescue’s news value couldn’t be more obvious. So where was the wall-to-wall coverage?

“This is a giant special interest story that would grab so many headlines and would have so much ratings because everybody wants to see it,” he said. “You’d be sitting on the couch with your family. ‘Are they gonna get ’em? Is it gonna dock? Is it gonna work?’”

Rogan isn’t alone in his assessment. 

The Daily Mail shared the muted reaction from The New York Times to the rescue:

Judging that Musk’s politicking had ‘poisoned’ his business empire, and connecting the recent slump in Tesla value, a guest author for the New York Times offered the damning assessment: ‘So what if Elon Musk rescued the astronauts?’

The TV news networks are all about ratings … to a point. Narrative and ideology trump all. It explains why so many media outlets ignored incendiary footage in recent years.

Why? The footage made the Left look bad. Think:

Those clips routinely went viral on social media, but mainstream news outlets ignored them.

Rogan knows why, and he’s not afraid to explain it to his followers.

Editor’s Note: It’s a brutal time to be an independent journalist, but it’s never been more necessary given the sorry state of the corporate press. If you’re enjoying Hollywood in Toto, I hope you’ll consider leaving a coin (or two) in our Tip Jar.
