techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-06-21 09:00:00

Following the 2024 Presidential election, it seemed like there was one big winner who wasn’t on a ballot: Joe Rogan. The podcast host seemingly succeeded in putting his finger on the scale and using his platform to help propel Donald Trump back into the White House. But ever since Trump took office, Rogan’s numbers have been slipping. According to The Daily Beast, he got knocked out of the top spot on the charts by anti-Trump podcast MeidasTouch, and he’s not taking it particularly well. On Twi

Instead, Musk argued, the station should be destroyed within two years — but left the final decision "up to the President." It's a
