In a shocking twist that has left conspiracy theorists and Disney executives equally confused, Joe Rogan has called for Elon Musk to be investigated for allegedly spending $250 million on the box office disaster that was Disney’s live-action Snow White.
The controversy began on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, where Rogan, between sips of his elk-meat smoothie, questioned why the world’s richest man wasn’t being held accountable for the film’s financial catastrophe.
“How does a movie about Snow White, with no dwarfs, cost that much? That’s SpaceX money, man! We need answers!” Rogan declared, his guest—who had come on to discuss Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—nodding in agreement.
The Musk Connection—A Theory That Almost Makes Sense
While Musk has absolutely no known ties to the film, that hasn’t stopped speculation. Internet sleuths on X (formerly Twitter, now a Musk playground) have already begun crafting elaborate theories. Some claim Musk secretly funded the film as an experiment in woke culture collapse. Others insist that the movie was actually a front for Tesla’s next failed Cybertruck prototype.
A viral post from @TruthSeeker1776 stated:
“Disney loses $250M on a movie that no one wanted? And we’re supposed to believe this wasn’t a secret test of Neuralink’s brainwashing technology? Wake up, people!”
Meanwhile, Musk, upon hearing the rumors, did what any billionaire would do—he fanned the flames. In response to Rogan’s theory, he simply tweeted:
“Interesting…”
The post was liked 1.2 million times, causing Forbes to briefly list him as the executive producer of Snow White before issuing a correction.
Disney Responds: “Elon Musk Does Not Own Us (Yet)”
Disney CEO Bob Iger was reportedly furious over the claims, immediately calling an emergency board meeting to clarify that Musk had no involvement in the film.
“I want to make this very clear: Elon Musk does not own Disney,” Iger stated, adjusting his Mouse-ear tie. “Though, given our recent box office numbers, we might consider selling.”
Despite Iger’s denial, some fans remain unconvinced. One TikTok user pointed out that the number of electric vehicles in the background of Disney’s recent films has mysteriously increased—coincidence, or a secret Tesla product placement deal?
The Real Culprit: Bad Decisions, Not Billionaires
While Rogan’s claim may be entertaining, experts say the real reason behind Snow White’s financial collapse was bad marketing, bad storytelling, and a studio that thought audiences would pay $15 to be lectured.
“You can’t just slap a classic title on a film and expect people to show up,” said Hollywood analyst Mike Jefferson. “Especially when the lead actress spends half the press tour explaining why she hates the original story.”
Still, Rogan’s call for an investigation into Musk has taken on a life of its own. As of today, a Change.org petition titled “Congress Must Investigate Elon Musk’s Role in Snow White” has gained over 250,000 signatures.
Whether Musk had anything to do with it or not, one thing is clear: He’s already winning. With Disney’s reputation crumbling and X (Twitter) thriving on the controversy, Musk has once again found a way to live rent-free in everyone’s heads.
His final response to the rumors?
“Maybe I did. Maybe I didn’t. Watch this rocket launch instead.”
And just like that, everyone forgot about Snow White.
