Tech oligarchs (Sergey Brin, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, Yuri and Julia Milner, and Anne Wojcicki) create a science prize, fund the inauguration of an anti-science president who appoints a fellow tech bro to gut govt funding of science, and then cut the part where someone points out the irony... "for time reasons"... from a YouTube video.

Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin all in attendance.

And yet, Joe Rogan (no relation) can spew propaganda on every podcast.

Joe Rogan would scream up and down about censorship and stuff and freedom of speech back in the day about this type of thing when it was against his worldview.

I don't think he's been complaining much about X or this or anything since. Just seems to suck up to Elon.

Strange that free speech doesn't matter when you're forcing people to say what you believe.

100%. I used to enjoy his show until he became an obvious hypocrite and started spouting more random nonsense.
