Elon Musk and Joe Rogan have a shockingly poor understanding of the realities of animal farming and veganism as part of a litany of bullshit and dangerous misinformation presented as fact.

However, one of their most recent conversations is astonishing. It’s amazing how demonstrably wrong they can be, and how much misinformation they can spread, in just one of many soundbites in this fiasco.

SOURCES: 99% of US animals are factory farmed – https://ourworldindata.org/how-many-a… Animal farming is the number one driver of deforestation – https://ourworldindata.org/drivers-of… Animal farming is the number one driver of biodiversity loss – https://www.chathamhouse.org/sites/de… Animal farming is the number one source of emissions in New Zealand, Ireland, Brazil and Argentina – https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-… Agriculture is the number one source of methane globally – https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-…

Less than 20% of all calories consumed globally come from animal products yet 36% of all habitable land globally is used for animal farming, and ‘regenerative’ beef farming requires 2.5 times more land.
