Joe Rogan, the American comedian, UFC commentator and podcast host, has responded to rumors about a possible partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, the creator of the social media platform BitClout. Rogan laughed off the speculation while sipping a Bud Light during his podcast, dismissing Mulvaney as “a kid” and his platform as “goofy”. Rogan’s comments have sparked debates about the ethics and responsibilities of celebrity endorsements, as well as the relevance and legitimacy of BitClout’s business model. BitClout allows users to buy and trade tokens representing social media profiles, including those of famous people, raising concerns about privacy, consent, and identity theft. Despite the controversy, BitClout has gained attention and investment from Silicon Valley and the crypto community. Rogan’s rejection of BitClout’s proposition illustrates the challenges and opportunities of decentralizing social media and monetizing celebrity status.
