Elon Musk made an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, a podcast hosted by the eponymous comedian, where the pair smoked a blunt and pondered the flat-Earth movement, the future of AI, &inventing shit& and several other of the eccentric billionaire favorite topics.The now-viral interview, which was live-streamed to thousands of viewers, was immediately followed by two high-profile executive departures at Tesla.
The company stock temporarily dropped 10 percent Friday.Here are a few highlights.Elon Musk probably got high.
We weren''t in the room with him, but the Tesla CEO looks to have inhaled what was described as a mixture of marijuana and tobacco.
&You probably can''t because of stockholders,&Rogan said to Musk before he took a hit of the blunt.
&I mean,it legal right& Musk asked, proceeding to smoke.He vented about the negative effects of social media: &Particularly Instagram, people look like they have a much better life than they really do,& Musk told Rogan.
&People basically seem like they are way better-looking than they really are and they are way happier-seeming than they really are.
If you look at everyone onInstagram, you might think ‘man, there are all these happy, beautiful people and I&m not that good-looking and I&m not happy, so I must suck.'In the words of Rogan, Musk just can''t stop &inventing shit.& But being Musk comes at a high cost.I don''t think you&d necessarily want to be me,& he said.
&I don''t think people would like it that much.& Rogan, in response, suggests meditation and an isolation tank.He worries about the future of AI — but not as much as he used to.
&The danger is going to be more humans using it against each other, I think, most likely, that&ll be the danger, yeah,& he murmured.You can watch the full interview here.
