The podcast host and UFC commentator commented while talking with former Apple and Facebook engineer Antonio Garcia Martinez on The Joe Rogan Experience.
Joe Rogan called woke employees of Big Tech companies in Silicon Valley “mentally ill” Wednesday, adding that they are “lunatics who are running the asylum to a certain extent.”

“For someone from the outside, we look at it and say, ‘How are those f****** places run?’” Rogan told Martinez.

A friend of the podcast host had a management position within Google, and Rogan said she portrayed the environment as “utter madness.”
“The lunatics are running the asylum to a certain extent because there’s a lot of people working inside the company now that legitimately are mentally ill, and they consider themselves activists,” Rogan said.

They have to “because they’re a certain percentage of the population that works for the company, and they’re the loudest, and they often don’t get work done,” Rogan said.

When the workers get “confronted” for their job, they all become activists, according to the podcast host.
“You are here for X amount of hours per day. This is your f****** job. You’re not an activist,” Rogan’s friend would have to tell workers, he said.

Martínez told Rogan that the companies are partly to blame because workers are encouraged by human resources departments to “bring the real self to work.”
He described big tech firms like Facebook as “kind of like a cult” since employees are brought to a “campus lifestyle” where “they do your laundry for you” and “feed you.”

“Facebook was a cult, and I joined it, and I was a happy member of it,” Martínez said. “It was very powerful. Everyone sacrificed themselves for the sake of the empire and its emperor.”

Rogan has been a frequent critic of tech firms for censoring and de-platforming those with viewpoints deemed outside the mainstream.
Spotify, which signed Rogan to a nine-figure licensing deal, was urged to dump the contentious podcaster after rocker Neil Young and other artists removed their songs from the streaming platform.
Rogan has been accused of giving a platform to skeptics of COVID-19 vaccines and pandemic lockdown measures. He denies being an “anti-vaxxer.”
