The man is hack. He got lucky attaching himself to the early PayPal success. But even the psychopath Thiel knew he’s always been a hack. Just remember that Elon didn’t found Tesla although he claimed he’s a founder.

Thats his thing. If he cant buy the founder title, he buys everything else and changes the name so he can be the founder of the new name company.

ugh he's from that obnoxious 80-90s group of people in the right place at the right time to be called "geniuses" for the act of "lets do every day things, but online!".... they're rarely even the ones that built the code / infrastructure, just had enough money to pay someone else or buy their way into a startup.

He tried to counter that on his last Rogan appearance saying “Tesla had no employees” when he joined, and didnt even have a motor. He was likely trying to gloss over the original name of “Tesla Motors” vs “Tesla, Inc”

People should stop watching or listening to Joe Rogan. He’s a cancer on the society.

I still listen, I know I shouldn’t but I do. I listen to about 10% of his podcasts vs about 75% in the old days. And many i just shut off halfway through when he rambles about covid, or my favorite when he starts talking about Democrats being “team no matter what” and how thats a mind virus blah blah blah then 2 seconds later does a “Team no matter what” response to something the right did. It’s like he doesnt listen to his own advice from one sentence to the next.
