Elon Musk and Rogan GO AFTER Meidas

Written by Ben Meiselas

Hey Meidas Mighty, it’s Ben Meiselas. I will keep this short.

I have no doubt that Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and the right-wing “man-o-sphere” podcasts are pissed that the MeidasTouch Podcast is wiping the floor with them.

They are pulling out all their usual tricks.

Over the weekend, Elon Musk went on the Joe Rogan show to try and boost the ratings for Rogan’s show.

Rogan apparently does not like being “dethroned” by the MeidasTouch Podcast. (Remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.)

Musk gave a blabbering, somewhat incoherent interview with Rogan, where they tried to show how “alpha” they were.

It was so pathetic, and they came off like petulant little annoying children speaking their own fascist Furby language.

Yes, I just made a Furby reference.

From what I gathered from the boring 3-hour, 11-minute interview, Elon Musk thinks that Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme” that should be ended, and he believes Western civilization has been “destroyed by empathy.”

Yup, Musk and Rogan believe the biggest problem confronting “the West” is “weaponized empathy,” whatever the heck that means.

When I last checked the Podscribe audio podcast charts, we had increased our lead over Rogan by about 20 million monthly downloads.

So, good job, Rogan and Musk—you played yourselves.

It’s no coincidence that Rogan and Musk arranged this show the week Rogan lost to us in all the podcast charts.

He and Musk crave attention and throw billions of dollars to soothe their frail, un-alpha egos to make themselves feel like “apocalyptic warlords,” in the words of Musk.

Nope, they are just a bunch of miserable, self-absorbed rich jerks who get off on the suffering of others.

They are really sick and demented people who thrive off the pain of others.

As you can imagine, I am now frequently being asked about the MeidasTouch Network getting more downloads and views than Rogan and Fox News.

I am often asked what I think about being compared to Rogan. I respond that I am nothing like Rogan. I am the anti-Rogan.

Rogan launders the deceit and treachery of the oligarchy, designed to subjugate the masses through the subterfuge of comedy, sports, and conspiracy.

It’s all a ruse—a ruse with fatal consequences for people and for our democracy.

Rogan is the oligarchy. His audience is his prey.

First off, someone who is “alpha” doesn’t say they are “alpha” or talk about masculinity all the time.

When I hear these right-wing podcast clowns and people like JD Vance say things like their “masculinity is under attack,” I think about what weird, soft snowflakes they are. I have some other hypotheses about them as well.

Seriously, who says things like that?

Also, call me old-fashioned, but I think bullying marginalized groups and punching down is about the least “alpha” thing you can do.

I never understood the fascination with these jerks. I never will. And I don’t really care.

The secret to why we are beating Rogan is that we are pro-democracy.

We bring receipts and evidence to every video and podcast we put out.

We don’t pretend to be things we aren’t. We have the greatest community in the world, which is you—the Meidas Mighty.

I am most proud of making Rogan and Musk squeal, knowing the MeidasTouch Network was built from the ground up and is focused on bringing people together with the truth. We are built from the subscribers of this Substack.

We stand up for our democracy, for workers, for the climate, for equality, for peace, and for the truth.

The Meidas Mighty have each other’s backs.

The MeidasTouch Network continues to grow rapidly thanks to our subscribers on this Substack.

We are grateful for your support.

As you may know, we have an ambitious March subscriber goal, so please subscribe now if you can.

I want to make sure we can continue to grow and keep beating Fox, Rogan, and all other news.

When you subscribe, that goes a long way in helping fuel our growth as an independent media network.

You can also gift people subscriptions.

So thank you for subscribing if you can, and thanks as always for your support.

Not bad waking up on Monday and seeing Musk and Rogan worried and not on top.
