Elon Musk supports his old friend Joe Rogan for his offer to ask Peter Hotez for a debate with Robert R. Kennedy Jr. Recently, Robert R. Kennedy Jr,A Democratic presidential contender who is anti-vaccine was in the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast which attracted a lot of controversies.

Peter Hoteza, renowned vaccinations specialist who worked on the COVID-19 vaccine Corbevax made a tweet revealing that Robert R. Kennedy Jr shared a lot of misinformation that Rogan didn’t like at all and snapped back. Rogan then asked Peter Hotez to participate in a podcast discussion with RFK. However,  Hotez asked Rogan to have a private chat instead.

Rogan then tweeted: “This is a non answer.  I challenged you publicly because you publicly quote tweeted and agreed with that dogshit vice article.  If you’re really serious about what you stand for, you now have a massive opportunity for a debate that will reach the largest audience a discussion like this has ever had.  If you think someone else is better qualified, suggest that person.”

Rogan’s tweet attracted the attention of Twitter Elon Musk who tweeted: “He’s afraid of a public debate because he knows he’s wrong.” Musk seems to be equally annoyed by Peter Hotez and his claims and has openly shown his views on the vaccine expert.

After Elon Musk came out to support Joe Rogan, Peter Hotez questioned Musk why he is supporting anti-vaccine as there are many people who died due to the misinformation. 

Musk took that opportunity to point out that he’s pro-vaccine and his whole family is vaccinated. However, he has his own problems with the campaign and believes in the side effects of overusing vaccines.

He wrote: “First of all, I am generally pro-vaccine…So many people I know had serious side effects from the vaccines, including myself. Failure to acknowledge that is a lie. As for the deaths you claim are due to Covid-19, why is the nation of Sweden still alive!? ? Just go on Rogan and do the debate.” Musk then urged Hotez to join Joe Rogan and Robert R. Kennedy Jr and debate it out on the JRE podcast.
