Being utterly ignorant of the gentleman, I just read the entire wiki bio of Joe Rogan.
Thus having done the appropriate due diligence, and therefore qualified to ask the following...would someone PLEASE tell me why you - and more importantly, quite a number of other TMC forum members - are so excited about the upcoming podcast? Is there any reason to expect anything questions of substance; any insightful probings?
Haven't had time to read through the thread, so here are my quick thoughts before market close, apologies if repeated.
Having listened to and enjoyed quite a few of Joe's podcasts over the years, there's reason to be very excited, because it's undoubtedly going to be a historic interview, but also reason to be a little bit afraid for the short term stock price.
Some of them are very insightful, the ones with Rhonda Patrick about nutritional genomics and other knowledgeable people of the sort, but Joe ventures into just about every taboo subject known to man and has had quite extensive conversation about every conspiracy theory out there. If you want an example on how crazy it can get, listen to the Alex Jones episode. But he also asks great questions and lets the guest answer for as long as they want.
I would not be surprised if drugs (LSD, weed, DMT - often a topic), Burning Man, weird theories about the nature of the universe - stuff of that sort - show up. I hope they steer clear, for obvious reasons, although I'd like to hear them talk about it and knowing Joe and Elon, the chance is definitely there. I'd be nervous holding short term calls and am waiting to hear the interview and potential media storm before loading up.
It's also going to be interesting to see is if any of media try and discredit Joe Rogan as part of the Elon Musk smear. He undoubtedly has enormous reach among young men especially.
Fwiw, I think the interview is going to be a huge positive for Elon as a whole, but it might not show up tomorrow in market action. One small reference by Elon to drugs and the media will be all over it. I'm leaning towards him being very confident about the future of Tesla and thus very unfiltered about things, which would paradoxically be a short term negative in my view.
This is another f you to the media and the establishment - they're not going to take it lightly. It's going to win over the people that count in the long run though, so that's good.
In any case, Elon has never done an interview this long and this unscripted before - I can't wait!
