Joe Rogan SLAMS Media For Ignoring Musk – Astronauts Rescued!

Media completely ignores historic astronaut rescue by Elon Musk while relentlessly pushing negative propaganda about him – and Joe Rogan is calling them out for their blatant bias.

- Joe Rogan slammed mainstream media for ignoring SpaceX’s rescue of two NASA astronauts stranded in space for over 9 months
- The media’s bias against Elon Musk led to minimal coverage of what should have been celebrated as a major national achievement
- Rogan compared this media blackout to his own experience with the “horse paste” Ivermectin smear during his COVID treatment
- SpaceX had to rescue astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore after Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft experienced critical technical failures
- Both Rogan and Musk argue the media intentionally buries positive stories about Musk while amplifying negative narratives
Media’s Deliberate Blackout of a Historic Space Rescue
In what world does the dramatic rescue of American astronauts stranded in space for nearly a year not merit wall-to-wall media coverage? Apparently, in our world – where the media’s hatred for Elon Musk trumps even the most compelling human interest stories. Joe Rogan, never one to mince words, recently tore into the mainstream press for their deafening silence on SpaceX’s heroic mission to bring home NASA astronauts Sunita “Suni” Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore, who had been marooned on the International Space Station for over nine months due to Boeing’s failed Starliner spacecraft.
This rescue mission should have been broadcast on every news channel in America. It had all the elements of a blockbuster story – stranded astronauts, a failed government-contracted spacecraft, and a private company swooping in to save the day. But because that private company belongs to Elon Musk – who has committed the unforgivable sin of challenging leftist orthodoxy – the media collectively decided Americans shouldn’t hear about it. Priorities, people! Why cover an actual space rescue when there are Trump’s tweets to obsess over?
The Ivermectin Parallel: When Media Pushes Narratives Over Truth
Rogan knows firsthand how the media distorts reality to push their preferred narratives. When he contracted COVID-19 in 2021, mainstream outlets gleefully misrepresented his use of Ivermectin, labeling it “horse dewormer” despite it being a Nobel Prize-winning medication prescribed by his doctor. The media’s treatment of Rogan then mirrors their current treatment of Musk – facts don’t matter when you can push a politically convenient narrative instead. The blatant dishonesty around Ivermectin should have been career-ending for many journalists, but instead, they’ve moved on to their next target.
Let that sink in. The United States of America – the nation that put men on the moon – couldn’t rescue its own astronauts without Elon Musk’s help. Boeing, which received billions in government contracts, completely failed. Their Starliner spacecraft experienced helium leaks and propulsion malfunctions that made a safe return impossible. SpaceX literally saved the day, and yet you’d barely know it happened if you relied on mainstream news. This story exposes not just media bias but the embarrassing reality that our government has become so inefficient that private enterprise must step in to accomplish what was once routine.
The Real Motivations Behind Media Silence
What’s particularly galling about this media blackout is that it flies in the face of basic business sense. As Rogan correctly pointed out, this rescue mission had all the elements of a ratings bonanza. Families across America would have been glued to their televisions watching the drama unfold. It’s the kind of real-life suspense that media executives normally salivate over. But apparently, protecting the public from positive news about Elon Musk was deemed more important than viewership, ratings, or profits. If that doesn’t prove an ideological agenda is at work, nothing does.
Musk himself didn’t mince words about the media’s motivations, stating bluntly: “The goal of the left is to destroy my influence. So they relentlessly push negative propaganda about me like the fake Nazi stuff and ignore anything positive. They are evil.” Strong words, perhaps, but increasingly difficult to dispute when you witness such coordinated information suppression. This isn’t just about Musk anymore – it’s about controlling which achievements Americans are allowed to celebrate based on the political affiliations of those achieving them. When media gatekeepers decide that rescuing stranded astronauts isn’t newsworthy because they don’t like the politics of the rescuer, we’ve entered dangerous territory indeed.
