Joe Rogan and Elon Musk hit out after ABC boss slams podcaster as ‘deeply repulsive’

Two of the world’s most divisive and powerful public figures have hit out at ABC chairman, Kim Williams, who branded Rogan’s remarkable power over listeners to be “deeply repulsive”.

Williams made the comments at his first Melbourne Press Club Address in over a decade this week, where he also rallied for more public investment in the ABC, saying the broadcaster’s funding had diminished over the past decade.

When asked about Rogan’s outsized appeal with male audiences in the US, Williams took aim.
