How many of them have been on Rogan?'
Has he had on Timothy Mellon, the second largest political contributor after Elon Musk in the last election cycle? Has he had on the Uihleins or the Adelsons?
Only a small subset of the people making huge political donations want publicity, and only an even smaller subset of those are interesting enough that Joe Rogan would do a podcast with them.
Don't think that most of them are interesting in a macabre way like Thiel or Musk. Most are old, crotchety assholes who inherited vast fortunes who aren't interesting, don't seek publicity, and just want to remake the world without pesky democracy interfering.
A lot of the griftiest sorts have to make public appearances to sell their poison pills (such as elon's meme stock.) So them also being on rogan says they are particularly scammy.
Who hasn't? Simpler that way. Someone showed up with money at Joe's, 2012 if I had to bet.
