Podcast host Joe Rogan ripped into people who pretend that “everyone’s Hitler” on Wednesday, saying they’re “just broken.”
Following President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, Department of Government Efficiency leader Elon Musk was criticized by corporate media for a one-arm gesture he made on stage, which some people said resembled a Nazi salute. On “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan called out how people use former Nazi leader Adolf Hitler “as an excuse,” and said their ideology lets them say the “most awful things” about people with differing perspectives.
“You do anything you can to stop Hitler, right? This is why they want to conflate and they always want to pretend that everyone’s Hitler. The problem with that is, it just after a while, it’s crying wolf and people are like, ‘Oh, this is a bullshit game you’re playing, and you’re just using it as an excuse.’ Elon has talked about this a lot. He’s absolutely correct,” Rogan said.
“[It] is that people use woke ideology as an excuse to be an asshole, and it’s really just people that are assholes that are attaching themselves to things that make them feel righteous,” Rogan added. “So they wrap themselves in this idea to give them virtue and to allow them to say the most awful things about other people that have different perspectives. Then just by nature if you’re doing that you’re doing the wrong thing. You’re a bad person.”
Corporate media and Democrats circulated a clipped portion of Musk. A full clip, though, shows Musk raising his hand to the crowd while saying, “My heart goes out to you.” Rogan went on to call out those justifying their actions and comparing Musk to Hitler, adding that their stance will become “less and less effective.”

“You can justify it all you want. You can find people that agree with you all you want, but those people are also on the wrong track,” Rogan said. “If you can do it in small groups of people [then] you can do it in enormous groups of people. It just has to be an ethic that gets promoted. It has to be something that you see people that you admire adhere to and you do it as well.”
“Whenever someone goes outside of that and whenever someone starts making horrific unfounded personal attacks because someone has a different political ideology or just going after them every day all day long, like you’re just broken,” Rogan said. “You’re just on the wrong path, period, and intelligent and aware people that have control of their emotions recognize that. They’re not going to take your perspective seriously. So you’re going to be less and less effective with what you do.”
Similar to Musk, during Trump’s campaign Democrats and other political pundits attempted to label Trump as a threat to democracy by claiming he was a “fascist” and likening him to Hitler. In an interview with The New York Times and The Atlantic, Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, John Kelly, told the outlets that the president reportedly exhibited “fascist” tendencies and said he praised Hitler.
By October 2024, former Vice President Kamala Harris, during her town hall with CNN, said she believed Trump was a fascist. Also that month, former President Joe Biden called for Trump to be “locked up” before quickly correcting himself, saying he meant “politically” locked up.
