“Rejoice,” Joe Rogan wrote earlier this month when he joined Gettr, the MAGA-friendly Twitter alternative founded by former Trump aide Jason Miller.
Now the influential comedian and podcaster seemingly regrets his decision, blasting the social-media app this week as a “fugazi” site that engages in “fuckery.”
“I might be part of the Chinese Communist Party now, I believe,” Rogan joked on Monday—referencing how Gettr is bankrolled by exiled Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui—after fellow comedian Tim Dillon noted how the former Fear Factor host had recently joined Gettr and generated a flurry of media headlines.
“Well, the news story is their fucking amount of people that signed up increased by 1,150 percent or something” as a result of his joining, Rogan remarked on The Tim Dillon Show.
“Yeah, you have like 9 million followers on Gettr,” Dillon responded, before Rogan tossed cold water on that metric. “Yeah, it’s not real, though,” he explained, “Gettr doesn’t even have 9 million people.” According to the podcasting star, the social-media site merely combines pre-existing Twitter followings to its user profiles.
“This is where the fuckery is,” Rogan continued. “They take all my Twitter followers... and then they port those over.”
“So Gettr is fugazi,” Dillion replied.
“Definitely fugazi,” Rogan agreed.
