10 Best Science Based Joe Rogan Experience Guests

No matter how you might feel about Elon Musk and his many controversies, he's undeniably one of the most fascinating individuals alive today. This guy is the real-life head of Weyland Corp. from the Alien franchise, and he's literally attempting to colonise Mars...

He graduated the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor's degree in economics and physics. He went on to drop out of his PHD at Stanford to launch a hugely successful start-up company, for which he personally received £22 million for its sale.

But boring background aside, what you're really wanting to know is how he and his former partner Grimes came up with the name X Æ A-12 for their baby. He gets into all that with Rogan in episode 1470, but for anyone who hasn't watched any of his podcast appearances, start at the beginning.

Musk was clearly a little nervous during this interview, or perhaps he's such a highly intelligent individual that talking to mere normies feels like a tedious exercise for him. It's fascinating watching this guy answer questions. He doesn't waste his words, and there's an intriguing and slightly unnerving pause while he robotically calculates exactly what he's going to say.

Plus, this was the episode when he famously took a single toke of a joint, resulting in Telsa stocks crashing.
