Martina Navratilova recently criticized Joe Rogan after the podcast host praised X (formerly Twitter) as the “number one news source on Earth.” Rogan, speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, lauded the platform’s Community Notes feature and claimed it offered a more trustworthy source of information than traditional media. He also highlighted how users can freely debate topics in real-time.
In response, former tennis star Martina Navratilova mocked Rogan, calling him “a joke.” She has been a vocal critic of X since Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform, suggesting that Musk may be using it to influence the political landscape in the U.S. Navratilova’s discontent with Musk’s changes to the platform includes claims that it is rigging the system, a sentiment echoed by others like Craig Unger, who has accused X of shadow-banning his account.
