‘I know my lane’: Kash Patel says he would stay out of ‘Trump-Elon thing’ on Epstein Files
The Joe Rogan Experience episode of Joe Rogan interviewing FBI director Kash Patel dropped on Friday and proved that Kash Patel was giving the interview when Elon Musk called Donald Trump a pedophile, a sex offender whose name is in the Epstein Files. Kash Patel was prepared to speak in details about Epstein Files as he had been doing in the last few interviews but the Donald Trump connection caught him by surprise and he said he does not know how Elon Musk would know about what is there in the undisclosed Epstein files. “I am not participating in any of that conversation between Elon and Trump,” Patel said as Joe Rogan read out the most ballistic post of Elon Musk on X. “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” Elon Musk posted. “Jesus Christ,” Rogan said in shock and said it was a crazy thing to say on social media.“Have a nice day? Someone should take his phone away,” Rogan added.“How does he know? Does he know that Donald Trump’s in the Epstein files? Does he have access to the Epstein files?” Rogan asked Patel.“I don’t know how he would,” Patel said, “but I’m just staying out of the Trump-Elon thing. That’s way outside my lane,” Patel said. “What the f**k are they doing?” Rogan could not believe. “I know my line and that ain’t it,” Patel resisted.Rogan then said it was not healthy for Elon Musk to post things on X throughout the day and then argue with people, though he owns the platform. “I understand he owns Twitter, I think it’s bad for your mental health,” Rogan said. “I think posting things public all day and arguing with people all day is bad for you.”Patel sidestepped the question and said it segued to a crucial point, how the FBI has to fight the ‘click army’ on social media.
