Joe Rogan blasted Bill Gates on a recent episode of his podcast, accusing the billionaire of spreading fear and “false information” during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Joe Rogan has a bone to pick with Bill Gates. On a recent episode of the ‘Joe Rogan Experience,’ the podcast host ripped into the billionaire and other influential figures for allegedly inciting fear and spreading false information during the COVID-19 pandemic.
While discussing the early stages of the pandemic, Rogan recalled Gates’ vocal support of the vaccines – which he claims the American businessman profited from, only to pull out of said investments later on.
“Bill Gates, who’s on television telling everybody, get the vaccine. You won’t get Covid,” he began. “And then afterward, that didn’t work after he had unloaded all of his stock… It turns out Covid wasn’t as bad as we thought it was. Well, you guys are really responsible for a bunch of people taking a medication that was unproven.”

According to Rogan, the extreme sentiment expressed by Gates caused vast issues across the nation – particularly impacting the economy, political system and people’s overall mental health.
“You’re responsible for all the side effects,” he said. “You’re responsible for all these, and you’re responsible for fearmongering, lying, closing down businesses, they’re ruining economies, changing the political structure of the country.”
This isn’t the first time that Rogan has publicly shared his distaste of Gates. Back in July, the UFC commentator took aim at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s immunization program, which donated $250 million to combat the coronavirus across the world.
Yet Rogan believes that Gates should not be the one to be divulging health advice to those across the globe – bizarrely adding that the Microsoft co-founder is overweight. “He’s got a big pot belly,” Rogan said. “Not only that, he’s got no medical degree, I mean, I don’t even think he had a college degree.
“He looks like —-, why are you taking health advice from a guy that looks like —- just ’cause he invested a bunch of money in a company?”
