Elon Musk Smoking Weed With Joe Rogan is the GIF of the Century

Last night, Elon Musk took a break from pissing people off on Twitter to smoke some weed with comedian Joe Rogan on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. Towards the end of their lengthy interview — which covered everything from electric planes to solar energy — Musk and Rogan shared a spliff and mused on the current state of like, industry, man. It didn’t seem like either of them actually got high (there were no drug-induced conversations about the hyperloop), but watching Musk’s weak-ass puff is pretty funny regardless.

The smoke sesh began about two hours into the interview, when a semi-bored Musk started playing with the tchotchkes on Rogan’s desk. Musk picked up a box of some kind, and Rogan said, “I got that in Mexico. I was hoping it holds joints.” The Tesla CEO continued to play with the box, prompting Rogan to show him the many things you can fit inside. “Try to put a joint in there and close it,” said Rogan. “You can fit like one, one blunt.”

Much to Musk’s surprise, Rogan pulled out a spliff and lit it. “So is that a joint? Or is it a cigar?” asked Musk with “Would a nark say this?” feigned innocence (I refuse to believe that he’s really that dumb). “It’s marijuana inside of tobacco,” said Rogan. “So it’s like pot-tobacco pies… I think I tried one once,” replied Musk. When Rogan joked that Musk shouldn’t reveal any more because his “stockholders” would get angry, Musk’s entire attitude changed. “I mean, it’s legal, right?” asked a defiant Musk. The CEO carefully inspected the joint (he sniffed it!) before taking a very small puff, and afterwards, he shrugged when he didn’t feel anything — inadvertently creating the GIF of the century.

Rogan decided to give Musk a little weed history lesson. “The combination of tobacco and marijuana is wonderful,” he said. “First turned onto it by Charlie Murphy, and then reignited by Dave Chappelle.” They  then turned their attention to the larger cultural attitude surrounding drugs, particularly alcohol, which Musk said “is pretty grandfathered in” to the world. “It’s a drug that gets a bad rap,” Rogan said about alcohol. “Because you just have a little, it’s great … The real worry is people who can’t handle it. Like they’re real worried about people who can’t handle cars that can go 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds, or anything.” Musk’s response to Rogan’s long-winded explanation? “Fine,” he said.
