CNN refutes Rogan-Musk conspiracy theory that network may have been ‘tipped off’ to Trump assassination attempt
During Rogan’s latest sitdown with Musk, which featured the world’s richest man making baseless accusations about business rivals being on the so-called “Epstein list,” the conspiracy-peddling podcaster claimed that it was suspicious that CNN carried the rural Pennsylvania rally where the president was grazed with a bullet. At the same time, he falsely asserted that the network did not carry any other Trump rallies during the 2024 campaign.
“You also know that CNN streamed it live, which I do not believe they did for any other rally — and certainly not for a rally in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. Like, there’s a lot of weird shit,” Rogan said, prompting Musk to agree that “it makes no sense.”
After a clip of Rogan’s and Musk’s insinuations about CNN were posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday evening, several prominent conservatives amplified the groundless claims and gave it more traction.
“What are the chances @CNN was tipped off to stream the Butler rally?” Trump-backing billionaire Bill Ackman tweeted. “Why isn’t this worthy of an investigation? It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who orders the coverage and why.”
Sharing the clip on X alongside Rogan’s full quote about the network, Musk acolyte Mario Nawfal called it “weird” that CNN aired the Bulter rally while parroting Rogan’s false claim that the network didn’t carry any other Trump events.
In a since-deleted tweet, Fox News contributor Joe Concha also helped to fan the conspiratorial flames by implying there was something fishy about CNN deciding to take the weekend rally live.
“This is 100% correct,” he wrote. “I was about to go on the air to co-host The Big Weekend Show and noticed this on my way in. CNN never airs Trump rallies anymore (they aired plenty in 2015-2016 for ratings). The question is — why this one?”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
