Elon Musk and Joe Rogan on Monday accused the Democratic Party of repeatedly spreading misinformation and suggested that YouTube may be deliberately suppressing Rogan’s recent interview with former President Donald Trump.
During an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Musk said Democrats “do all the things they accuse” Trump of, pointing to what he called a pattern of deliberate hoaxes and disinformation. The Tesla CEO also said the Democratic Party repeatedly propagates falsehoods and hoaxes.
“Politicians are going to exaggerate. They’re going to speak, and then they’ll tell occasional untruths, whatever. That’s how it is for politics. But [then] you have deliberate, concerted, repeated pushing of hoaxes,” Musk told Rogan.
“You claim to be the good guys. The Dems are like, ‘Oh, we’re the good guys. We’re the honest people.’ You can’t claim to be the good guys. You can’t claim to be the honest people if you’re deliberately pushing hoaxes that have been debunked thoroughly.”
The two pointed to high-profile examples, including the accusations that Trump advocated for violence against political opponents.
“A recent one that came up, which had [fooled] a lot of people. A lot of people reached out to me. It was like, ‘Oh, Trump says he wants to execute Liz Cheney.’ I’m like, ‘That is utter bullshit. [That’s] not what he said at all. What he said he said was ‘Look, if Liz Cheney actually had to fight at the front lines, she would think twice about going to war,” Musk added.
