Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a new interview with Joe Rogan that he bought Twitter to save the world from the 'mind virus' at the company's San Francisco HQ.

In July 2022, Elon Musk tried to renege on purchasing Twitter for $44 billion. Anxious to finalize a deal with Musk at a price point that was generally considered an enormous overpay, Twitter sued Musk. On Oct. 28, 2022, the day before the trial was supposed to start, Musk and Twitter came to terms on the original $44 billion asking price.

' Musk paused to ask Rogan if he'd been to San Francisco lately, to which Rogan said 'not lately' but that he'd heard 'it's crazy' and that 'you really can't believe it until you actually go there.' Musk concurred, then carried on. 'What philosophy led to that outcome? That philosophy was being piped to Earth,' Musk said.
