Joe Rogan’s playful response to criticism from The View co-host Joy Behar has sparked attention from fans and notable figures, including former UFC fighter Tim Kennedy and tech mogul Elon Musk. Behar recently accused Rogan of spreading misinformation, even mocking him for purportedly “believing in dragons.” Rogan responded by humorously updating his X/Twitter bio to include “Dragon Believer,” a move that drew widespread reactions.
Tim Kennedy’s Take
Tim Kennedy, a former UFC middleweight and outspoken personality, took to Instagram Stories to share his thoughts on Rogan’s clapback. Sharing a screenshot of Rogan’s updated bio, Kennedy captioned it:
“@joerogan doesn’t give a….”
The sentiment highlighted Rogan’s unapologetic attitude in the face of criticism, something Kennedy and many of Rogan’s fans admire.
Elon Musk’s Approval
Elon Musk, another frequent commentator on X/Twitter, joined the conversation, praising Rogan’s witty response. Musk tweeted:
“Have to say that @joerogan’s profile description is awesome.”
This isn’t the first time Musk has voiced his support for Rogan, as the two share a history of mutual admiration, including Rogan hosting Musk on his Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
A History of Controversy
Rogan’s response to Behar adds to the ongoing discourse about his platform and its impact. While his millions of fans view him as a voice of free speech and open conversation, critics, including Behar, have accused him of spreading harmful misinformation. This scrutiny has intensified due to his association with controversial figures like Alex Jones, who has faced legal repercussions for promoting conspiracy theories, such as the Sandy Hook shooting hoax claims.
Additionally, figures like Mary Trump, Donald Trump’s niece, have criticized Rogan, even taking shots at his intelligence. Rogan’s tendency to host polarizing guests and challenge mainstream narratives often puts him at the center of cultural debates.
A Lighthearted Feud
While Rogan’s response to Behar’s accusations has been lighthearted, it remains to be seen if Behar will respond in kind or escalate the exchange. For now, Rogan’s “Dragon Believer” bio has become a symbol of his laid-back approach to handling critics—a move that resonates with fans and allies like Tim Kennedy and Elon Musk.
This playful rebuttal fits neatly into Rogan’s ethos: tackling serious issues but not taking himself too seriously.
