Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski posted an offer letter to Joe Rogan on Twitter offering the podcaster $100 million over four years to bring The Joe Rogan Experience to the platform.
"Hey Joe Rogan," Rumble write, "we are ready to fight alongside you."
The letter from Pavlovski reads: "We stand with you, your guests, and your legion of fans in desire for real conversation. So we'd like to offer you 100 million reasons to make the world a better place.
"How about you bring all your shows to Rumble, both old and new, with no censorship, to 100 million bucks over four years?
"This is our chance to save the world," Pavlovski wrote. "And yes, this is totally legit."
Rogan has a contract with Spotify for exclusive rights to his podcast. It was a $100 million deal signed in 2020.
Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing also offered to host Joe Rogan's podcast on Daily Wire's growing platform in the event that things go south with Spotify.
Rogan apologized last week after a video showing him speaking the n-word emerged on social media. Rogan said these incidents were taken out of context, as they appeared to be since the video provided no context, simply Rogan saying the word, seemingly in quoting others.
Rogan said he only said it in the context of others' quotes. "It’s not my word to use. I am well aware of that now, but for years I used it in that manner. I never used it to be racist because I’m not racist."
"There's nothing I can do to take that back. I wish I could. Obviously, that's not possible. I certainly wasn't trying to be racist, and I certainly would never want to offend someone for entertainment with something as stupid as racism," he said.
