'How Is that Legal?': Joe Rogan Not Happy with Donald Trump for 'Crazy' Move

Joe Rogan questioned whether subscribers could trade on nonpublic posts after Trump Media began charging up to $100,000 a month for early access.

  • On Thursday, podcaster Joe Rogan expressed outrage on The Joe Rogan Experience over President Donald Trump's new Truth Social feature selling subscribers early access to "market-moving" posts for up to $100,000 a month.
  • Trump started Truth Social after his 2021 ban from Twitter and Facebook; he now uses the platform as an official White House channel to announce policy initiatives, fire government officials, and deliver updates on Iran.
  • Comedian Shane Gillis joined Rogan on the podcast, explaining that selling faster access to tweets allows subscribers to bet on markets based on nonpublic information: "He's selling faster access to his tweets, and then you can bet on the markets."
  • A lawsuit filed against Trump this week alleges the plan violates the First and Fifth Amendments, labeling it "extraordinary, corrupt, and unconstitutional," while Rogan questioned the legality, asking, "How is that legal?"
  • While Rogan endorsed Trump during the 2024 Presidential Election, he has since criticized the president's policies and cryptocurrency ventures, expressing concern these monetization schemes could enable widespread corruption within government.
