Joe Rogan JUST *Called Out* Elon Musk! Yikes!!
FULL TRANSCRIPT
then someone on Twitter at the time
said um hey you should fight zck and I
said well I'm willing to fight if you if
he is um and um and then zck posted uh I
think on Instagram or something uh name
the place or something something like
that effect and I was like okay how
about the Vegas
octagon um and then um and then uh Italy
actually was willing to let us use the
Coliseum so I was like well let's can't
turn that down you know yeah um and then
um but then and then I was like well if
it's going to be in the Coliseum you
know we like I like UFC and everything
but we don't have like tons of ads in
and UFC branding on the Coliseum because
it's a historical you know play it's a
you know it's a place of great history
you don't want to right just uh you know
have it be like NASCAR right so so then
um and then zck Zuck pulled out you
know wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
no no no no no no I don't think you
could just say and then zck pulled out
elon's like yo let's go to your house
and do there's so much more to the story
and I don't know everything but I
definitely know there's way more than we
just heard to the point where Elon was
like live streaming himself on full
self-driving wanting to go to zuck's
house to fight Zuck at his house and
then zuck's like no no no man like no
free testing of the skills basically bro
like if you want to do a fight let's do
it real and elon's like yo why are you
chickening to scrimmage me you know and
and and and then it kind of just like
faded and then nobody ever heard about
it again uh you know zuck's kind of like
well hit me up when you're actually
serious about having a real fight as
opposed to a backyard fight but now
elon's here saying H he backed out bro
no no no no no no no no like even Elon
supporters should call [ __ ] on that
right there that no no
no um so he pulled out he pulled out of
it yeah yeah no oh what was the
narrative what did you hear Jamie yes
Joe
Joe
yes well I'm will so he was like oh no
it's got to be dude I love Joe sus right
here I love Joe susing this out dude
let's go
UFC Rules I'm like well okay we got have
UFC Rules in the Coliseum it's fine but
we just don't want to have you got to
respect the historical Integrity of the
place you just the Coliseum just seems
like the coolest place to do it that's
why and then and then Elon distracts and
then Elon flips and distracts no way
Elon flips it and turns it into oh uh
yeah basically let's go back to talking
about the uh
Coliseum no I mean Like Gladiator you
know come on if they said it's okay yeah
so he just wants it to be in the actual
UFC like in Vegas so so then he said oh
well you know uh like he accused me of
not not being serious I said look listen
at the end of the day if I'll fight you
any place anywhere under any rules oh Z
that's what I said so so I'm you know
name the he's the name of the place I'm
like I'm if I'm happy to fight him in a
house on a mouse with a
we like Go full Dr Seuss here now how
much time I'm way bigger than him this
is unfair I know I don't think he should
fight me um because because you're so
much bigger than him yeah I'm like 50%
harder than him yeah I'll just use a war
I've got my pented War rust move oh and
now he's doing the angle of well I would
have won anyway Zuck shouldn't fight me
anyway oh dude no Twisted narrative L
him well you know like warus doesn't
need martial arts training
right because it's really big you don't
want to go wrestling A W R Us right
because he's Gonna Roll on you have you
ever been ever rolled with someone was
much small keep in mind I found a Zuck
post Zuck said Elon won't confirm a date
then says he needs surgery now asks to
do a practice round in my
backyard if Elon ever gets serious about
a real date and official event he knows
how to reach me otherwi
time to move on I'm going to focus on
competing with people who take the sport
seriously that's not musk Zuck backing
out like again like I'm just trying to
be factual here and I I can't defend
musk on that and I think Eli or uh I
think Joe Rogan here I mean look at his
face look at Joe Rogan's face Joe
Rogan's like you're a Shyer musk aren't
you come on dude
it totally susing it out smaller than
you the does Jiu-Jitsu yes you Lex yeah
yeah yeah no I I didn't 10 years of
martial arts um how much have you
trained personally I a decade of it well
you did a lot of uh karate right uh I
did Judo Judo Kai kin Kai karate yeah um
I did some Jiu-Jitsu Taekwondo um street
fighting which I was
involuntary um I I I'm you know I think
I'd be decent I I did martial L
competitions when I was a teenager
really interesting so look at you George
St Pierre Elon John Doner the Great
Master and Lex fredman but like like Lex
is uh I think he's got like 20% heavier
than Zuck so and I'm way bigger than Lex
yeah that's why they have weight
categories oh yeah yeah um did you get a
chance to talk to Doner at all the guy
on the left that guy F do you know
history no he's from New Zealand or
something he was a professor of
philosophy at Columbia okay and fell in
love with jiu-jitsu okay I mean fell in
love with it to the point where he was
sleeping on the mats and teaching all
day long he's an obsessive he is a real
Kaizen disciple and in oh man he is one
of the most unique characters I've ever
met in my life one of the most I will
say that's that do is very unsurprising
for Elon Musk to spin the narrative like
that huge credit to Joe Rogan for susen
that out never ended up getting the full
narrative here from Rogan or the staff
or whatever In fairness I think that's
awkward like let other people do that
like me you know from a third person
point of view because if Joe Rogan fact
checks him and makes him look like a
fool on the show elon's not going to
come back to the show other people might
not want to come to the show so it's
very difficult in Joe Rogan's position
but he gave enough of an indication
where he's like uhhuh I'm on to this I I
I know all about the narrative I'm
letting you tell a story I know what the
story should sound like and that ain't
it all right wow uh so let's keep going
with uh yeah the podcast most brilliant
man I've ever met and he's completely
dedicated to Jiu-Jitsu and he has raised
through this particularly this bit him
to a duel under any circumstances SW
fight what time you need to
prepare I don't need any time no time at
all how's your cardio
wait let's go back instructor more he
doesn't really have that hair he
bleaches it John Doner is universally
regarded as the greatest jiu-jitsu
instructor alive and his student is
universally regarded as the greatest
Jiu-Jitsu competitor alive yeah and it
is because John is like a complete AB
like a guy out of a superhero book like
you wouldn't you you're not going to
find another one of those a guy with a
genius level IQ who's one of I mean you
talk to him he's fascinating and he is
obsessed with Combat Sports Warfare like
th like strategy yeah brilliant guy yeah
okay where is he I was impressed when I
met him um I mean the things that like
uh if I was fighting someone who I was
not where I was not much bigger than
them then I would be more
concerned um how much time did you need
to prepare I like how Elon is that okay
Elon now backtracking here Joe Rogan
just went on a whole tangent on somebody
totally
different and now elon's you know in
this defensive position right his hands
are car like this is It's defensive it's
like self- soothing when you sit like
this or you sit with your arms like this
he hasn't been sitting like that he's
been sitting pretty casually most of the
time now he realizes he just said
something that was a fib and now he's
after Joe Rogan's entire rant on some
totally unrelated wasn't really a rant
it was a discussion Elon Musk goes back
to the Zuck issue let's listen to how he
tries to unbury himself from this fa I
don't need any time no time at all no
how's your
cardio finding someone how much time do
you need to prepare who I was not where
I was not much bigger than them then I
would be more
concerned um how much time did you need
to prepare I don't need any time no time
at all no how's your cardio no it's not
it that will not be a factor
really I I mean what's the likelihood of
this actually happening I like I'm
willing to do it anytime anywhere any
place any rules well I think this
stating it this way might accelerate
this process especially on this platform
I mean I I challenge him to a duel under
any
circumstances sure Jesus
that's not Neary at dawn that's not
necessary I think physical hand Nerf
guns at noon yeah Nerf guns at noon well
you could you could slash it out in the
metaverse but yeah in the real world I
listen I it there's there just a reason
they have weight categories you know um
so
uh you know there's a a friend of mine
who is pretty good at fighting um but
she weighs she weighs about half of what
what I do and um and I said let me let
me show you why there's weight
categories in in fighting and I'm I'm
going to do move called the wal Rus and
and you have to just I'm just gonna lie
on you I'm not gonna put you in a lock
or anything I'm just gonna lie on you
but I'm I'm gonna you know position
myself such that it's hard to get off
out from under me and I just I'm G to
lie Crossways on you and and you you try
to get get away you won't be able to get
away which you
couldn't just you know like Joe's like I
don't know about that man you take
somebody with skills man don't just rely
on a weight sandbag here horse falls on
you right you can get trapped under a
horse but you're not a horse what do you
weigh about
230 yeah two 240 yeah
yeah so no no I'm not a horse but I'm
saying in the limit if something's heavy
enough like you know a horse falls in
you and dies you can get trapped under a
horse and not be able to get yourself
out right a horse weighs 1,500 to 2,000
pounds on average but if someone's good
enough I mean I'm sure you've seen like
absolute weight classes in Jiu-Jitsu
where you'll get a 145 pound competitor
who strangles a 220 pound competitor and
they're both well trained because if
someone is that good unlikely it's not
unlikely it happens quite often okay
when you get Elite competitors when you
get Elite competitors like Elite black
belts at the 145 155 pound weight limit
you'd be shocked there's a ton of videos
of these guys who will strangle much
larger black belts yeah I'm not saying
it's impossible it's just highly
unlikely um and if if if this were not
the case there would not be strict
weight categories in martials that is
true yeah that is true but very I don't
know about that I think the weight
categories are to equalize the fairness
right because at that advanced level of
training even a two or three% Edge makes
a difference right at scale two or 3%
Edge because let's say you're you're
larger than somebody else and you're
equally trained but you're larger and
you win solely because you weigh 60 lbs
more but you've both equally trained
your whole lives the same and you have
that two or 3% chance Edge that that
that is the fairness that weight
categories are trying to balance Elon is
making this argument that weight
categories exist because if you're 60
pounds higher you will basically 99% of
fights win just by lying down on
somebody and Joe Rogan's here like I
don't know man there's some pretty you
know skinny dudes who are really skilled
who take down big people elon's like n
no chances are slim to none like elon's
implying weight categories exist to
prevent this impossible extreme I think
weight categories exist to level the
playing field by shaving off even those
small percentage of gains uh between
equally trained individuals I guess
that's on to everybody's opinion though
the reason why they allow absolutes in
Jiu-Jitsu is uh because the it is the
thrill of watching these smaller people
go against much larger people and
sometimes they win no I just just like
um armies you know when the people take
note when a small army defeats a big
army because it is so unusual yes not
because it's normal right um you know if
there's like it's like it was two
against 10,000 and boy would beat those
two guys
up more likely what happens if if if
you're cever outnumbered uh you will
lose almost certainly so look at the
size difference between these two
guys play it out well it's the end of
the video this is uh Mikey musi who is
another fascinating individual this guy
is another Super Genius who trains every
day 12 hours a day and uh he is
competing against a black belt in the
heavyweight division Mikey musi might
weigh 145 pounds and he beats this guyy
do
super great shape part where the it
seemed like you got penalties or
something oh they push them out of
balance I don't know what that won on I
think they're out of
balance okay yeah that's was that's just
out of bounds so scoot ahead and see
what happens when C
with what happened I'm not saying it's
impossible it's just very unlikely so he
won by points yeah so won by points I
think you're making the point for me
here yeah well in that case that guy's
strangled a lot muchar larger people
than him um but again he's extraordinary
he's a world champion he's world
champion for one which is this huge uh
organization in Singapore they do these
events where they have all kinds of
different martial arts they have MMA tie
boxing yeah
yeah um so you would do it under any
rules sure all right let's go I like it
I like the fact that you're interested
in doing this it's fun um it makes it
fun yeah I mean I I could you know this
this could be an exercise in
huus yeah there's some regret there find
out we could find out i' like the fact
that zuck's interested in it too I like
the fact that he uh he trained so much
yeah I mean there's there aren't very
many ways to actually if if you stick
with the rules that you just to um like
for example if you want to put somebody
in an armlock you have to be able to
extend their arm and if you if you if
somebody is strong enough that they that
you cannot extend their arm then you're
limited to chokes chokes and and you can
you can do a an arm loock across the
groin with with both arms and legs like
hoist Gracie did upside down and I think
it was like the third UFC fight or
something like that yeah he was pretty
severely damaged that was in femo yeah
that enormous guy yeah and he did upside
down um arm lock across the groin
because he could not do an arm loock um
you know a sort of sidebar armlock so um
but after that people were like why to
that move so they're like not going to
be allow themselves to get a armlock
across the grin without you know that
that was like a you know overconfidence
I think um well it was exhaustion I mean
they fought like tooth and nail for
something like seven or eight minutes
and you know hoist survived and then
eventually wore the guy well when you're
a big steroid it up guy like that too
the oxygen depletion like amward so
that's that's the fight portion have to
say you know Elon really tried to
backtrack the oops uh Mark Zuck backed
out the only way he was able to
backtrack off of Mark Zuck backed out
was basically by committing to being
willing to fight Mark Zuck anytime
anywhere so he's kind of reactivating
the whole fight thing even though he
probably didn't mean to he kind of had
to because he called out musk for or
zuuk for backing out even though that
wasn't true interesting move
all right what else we got here fast
forward a bit UFC is not just Jiu-Jitsu
you can punish people yeah let's keep
going so the we bet the year off no this
is that's That's Mike Tyson of Ander
Holyfield that's from the 90s yeah no
this fight that took place this last
weekend Francis and who was the UFC
heavyweight champion he vacated the belt
so he could take this fight with Tyson
Fury more fighting let's keep going um
it's a i KN I knew you take it easy on
me in the first round so the only way
I'm when to knock him over is is
momentum so I got to basically run wait
wait we're back to more fight stuff hold
on this part seems interesting like I I
mean I had like some childhood injuries
uh like I said I was in some pretty
severe fights as a kid like really like
was almost killed at one point so really
what
happened I was just in school in South
Africa it's a very violent place um
so um there been many involuntary fights
it's just the way it was
um but anyway so I had like and I had
some rugby injuries as well um I suppose
South South Africa won the World Cup
which is cool and in rugby um so uh so
so I think that that was like not a good
starting position uh but then um the
world champion Su wrestlers world
champion s wrestler they did kind of
like a demo bout for my birthday um and
since it was my birthday they I guess
they just they call up the birthday boy
and say like hey do you want to suum
wrestle this is where like it's a
similar weight differential he was 50%
heavier than me so um like I know 360
370 pounds um and um it's a i KN I knew
you take it easy on me in the first
round so the only way I'm going to knock
him over is is momentum so I got to
basically run at him um so I did uh run
at him did a judo throw knocked him over
um and smashed the disc in my neck in
the process oh yeah it's like it be like
running at that wall you know if you run
out a wall
it's G to hurt did you have to get it
fused or anything yeah oh
man so it's like you can knock you can
you you can knock over someone you can
defeat someone bigger than you if
willing to you know smash a disc in your
neck yeah well if you know what you're
doing and you're willing to smash a disc
on your neck those two things so he
wasn't expecting me to be a total
lunatic on round
one um and he defeated me obviously in
round two and three because he was like
well eyes knows what to expect but keep
going 5 C6 because because it could it
could slide and when it would slide
forward the C5 C6 would bang and crunch
the nerve and what does the normal this
has to do with a surgery do insanely
powerful and fast
yeah cool so you compete at the highest
level with your neck fused yeah yeah
yeah I'm not I'm not too worried about
that Alaine Sterling who was the UFC
banway champion he um got his neck neck
fused and then or not got a disc
replaced rather in his neck and then
went on to defend his title three
times still this isn't helping Elon
elon's trying to use the surgery as an
out and now El's like
[Laughter]
damn look at Joe's face there in that
clip wait look at that look at that the
Joe's like got you
[ __ ]
what what is going on here just a few
decades ago yeah now you're good to
go it be okay then yeah well medical
science is pretty [ __ ] incredible
what they could do now you know I mean
injuries that would have like you would
have been [ __ ] for the rest of your
life just a few decades ago yeah now
you're good to
go yeah so I'm excited we've kind of
rekindled this Zuck versus Elon Fire I
mean he's checking out what that's the I
don't think he's checking out
checking out you think so yeah [ __ ] [ __ ]
[ __ ] well maybe he's lck suck
suck I'll go to him into fighting using
tuns it might work yeah it I mean
somehow or another you got him to agree
in the first
place I was stunned surely he will
respond to a taor like that yeah
surely I mean how can you resist how can
you res res yeah exactly just go let's
go full School schoolyard tor what if
there was like real um consequences on
the line like what if you guys had a
real bet okay sure like the moderation
team from X takes over moderation of
Facebook if you win no problem it sounds
good and if he wins Vice RSE it a fight
for civilization yeah a literal fight
for civilization I mean I'll do it wow
heavy
true and you would even trained for this
no I train a little bit train a little
bit Yeah like how many weeks you
need
I mean I I I don't have to train I could
do it like
tomorrow I tried going to his house
actually did you really yeah because he
lives in paloalto um and we're doing
some um you know Tesla full self-driving
testing so see this is Elon literally
trying to go back once again we're like
40 to 50 minutes now from the FIB of oh
Zuck backed out Elon keeps going back to
it because he feels bad the basic Ally
got
exposed I'm like well got to pick a
destination press the button go navigate
to zuck's house yeah basically suck um
Joe is so good he's so good because he's
like I'm your friend Elon oh it's so
easy oh yeah I'm on autopilot like he's
he's totally trying to like soften
elon's guilt here it is he's a pro
interviewer he's not far he's like a I
think he's like three miles away from
the Tesla Tesla California headquarters
wow um but uh I don't know there's
nobody
there he's probably in Hawaii he
according to a spokesman he was
traveling Oh yeah been wild if he was
there yeah you say literally like like
anytime I thought it was funny um to go
like you know I'm coming over to your
house I'm gonna get you well it's even
more funny when it's two of the richest
guys in the world yeah yeah
um so anyway he didn't uh didn't answer
yeah too bad yeah too bad it's a it's
just fun it's fun and I'm I'm glad
you're you're just for the fun of it I
mean I think it would be well actually
like Dana Dana White thinks it would be
like the like the you know a really big
ticket fight it would be [ __ ] huge
yeah I would commentate on that yeah I
mean the pro could go to charity and
stuff it be yeah it' be crazy people
would want to see what the hell's going
on oh my God it would be [ __ ] huge
yeah yeah it would be really crazy crazy
like if if they close the thing yeah and
Bruce Buffer is in there it's time the
place would go [ __ ] bananas bananas
yeah yeah let's do it does it have to be
in the Coliseum would you agree no I'll
do it anywhere I literally said anywhere
