Clearly they were led to believe that Musk is a hardcore pothead by him striking a curious look on his face and tilting his head to the side when Rogan lit up a blunt, and asking,
Musk: "So is that a joint?" (pause) "Or is that a cigar?" (squints eyes and stares quizzically at what is obviously a blunt, not a joint)
Rogan: "No. It's marijuana inside of a tobacco..."
Musk: "So it's like.. posh pot, tobacco-pot..?"
Rogan: "You've never had that?"
Musk: "Yeah I think I tried one once..." (squints eyes)
Rogan: "Come on man."
Musk: (Laugh)
Rogan: "You probably can't because of the stockholders, right?"
Musk: (Quizzical look) "I mean, it's legal, right?"
Rogan: "Totally legal."
Musk: "Okay." (Picks up blunt and stares at it like a curious scientist examining an alien species)
Rogan: "How does that work, do people get upset when you do certain things?"
(Musk sniffs the blunt curiously)
Rogan: "There's tobacco and marijuana in there."
(Musk puffs a bit into his mouth but doesn't inhale it, then exhales. Ponders the experience curiously. Then shrugs his shoulders, shakes his head no, then hands it back)
You know, like any hardcore pothead would do Just like the typical stoner conversation that followed where Musk talked about how he doesn't like pot because it interferes with his ability to accomplish things.
Still not wise choice by EM. Bad optic/easy for FUDsters. to push an agenda to people that do not know Tesla/EM as well as Tesla product owners and stockholders.
