I'm curious what people here think. I'm sure everyone here has seen the salt about Joe Rogan and how Kamala should have gone on his podcast (her team kept her off so she wouldn't show off how retarded she is to even more people) or how the left needs its "own Joe Rogan" (not possible because they would cancel it the minute it deviated from leftist orthodoxy). A lot of that is the left blaming everyone but themselves like they do every time they lose an election, but I kind of wonder if there's something to the theory. I don't listen to Rogan, but my understanding of his podcast is that politics isn't really the main focus and his listening base contains a lot of largely apolitical young men who are drawn it him because he talks about things they're interested in and doesn't shit on them like the legacy media does. If I'm a Joe Rogan listener who's not plugged into political stuff and I see Trump do a 3 hour interview for the podcast and see Kamala make excuses not to do the same, that's gonna leave me with a favorable impression towards Trump and make me more likely to vote for him. Since Rogan has 50 million listeners even a tiny percentage of them being moved from Kamala to Trump or not voting to Trump could move the needle.

I’d say Musk acquiring Twitter played the largest role as it took away the uniparty’s #1 narrative pipeline.
Rogan’s interview with Trump (and Vance) happened very late in the election cycle long after early voting began. It did have a notable effect though in terms of winning over undecideds and improving Trump’s image (his favorability is at its highest currently).
Had the Rogan interviewed happened before the early voting period started, Trump’s margin of victory would’ve been larger.
Librats crowing about how he wasted 44 billion dollars, but the information which resulted in being released thanks to this purchase is well worth over a trillion dollars in my opinion.
He spent 44 billion and now he's basically a member of the cabinet with an incredible mandate. He came out so far ahead you can't quantify it.
Elon understands the power of the memeplex. He is now the king of 4chan 3.0, and its reach is terrifyingly broad. He also has access to all of it for Grok.
Pay attention to Palantir as well.
Who/what was 2.0?
