How the Crypto Winter Is Impacting Metaverse Tokens
Video
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made an unexpected three-hour long guest appearance on Joe Rogan’s latest Spotify podcast episode.
But some people weren’t entirely impressed or made jokes about what the media magnate had to say and didn’t hesitate to share it on social media, especially on Twitter.
“Zuckerberg on Rogan was a letdown. He didn’t push him on anything, very similar to first Jack Dorsey interview @Timcast,” one person wrote.

Another person said Zuckerberg appeared to be using Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s strategy of appearing to be down-to-Earth everyman and added: “Funny how Zuckerberg is trying to clear up his image now, doing the Elon Musk strategy.”

(Musk appeared on Rogan’s podcast in September 2018 and appealed to fans by smoking a blunt during the interview.)
A third said they tuned into the episode for 10 minutes and the Meta CEO sounded “unintelligent,” while a fourth called him a “reptile robot” despite him taking three hours out of his day to chat.
\u201cAbout 10 minutes into this Joe Rogan interview and my first thoughts are about how unintelligent Mark Zuckerberg sounds.\u201d— Sky Palma (@Sky Palma) 1661451359
\u201cZuckerberg was on Joe Rogan. \nHe thinks people won't think he's a reptile robot because he's on the cool guy's show. \nHe's wrong.\u201d— World Alternative Media (@World Alternative Media) 1661450866
Someone else thinks Zuckerberg will “make a great president one day” because he only answered “one question directly” in the interview.
\u201cI've watched a few highlights of the Mark Zuckerberg interview on Joe Rogan.\n\nThis dude can't answer one question directly. He dances around it.\n\nHe'll make a great president one day.\u201d— Bobby D (@Bobby D) 1661450898

\u201cKinda disappointed 15 minutes in that Joe Rogan hasn\u2019t offered Mark Zuckerberg a hit on the smelling salts at the very least, to prove he isn\u2019t a lizard.\u201d— Matthew Connell (@Matthew Connell) 1661451526

Elsewhere in the interview, Zuckerberg said that the company is spending $10bn on research this year.
He also told Rogan that new Metaverse equipment is being released in October, which would allow the avatars to imitate people’s facial expressions and allow the avatars to maintain eye contact.
“You have to convince your brain that this isn’t real and that you are not actually there,” he said.
