Bernie Sanders is a socialist millionaire trying to protect us from capitalist billionaires. Save us, Bernie! He recently flew into Austin, we assume on a private jet, to chat with podcast king Joe Rogan. Sanders started railing against Elon Musk and his multi-million-dollar donations to President Donald Trump’s election campaign. Rogan shut him down pretty concisely.

Joe Rogan shuts down Senator Bernie Sanders after he tried slamming Elon Musk for donating $270 million in the 2024 election.

Sanders: "[Elon] spent $270 million to elect Trump as president. I think that's absurd that any one person."

Rogan: "What's the most someone donated towards the Harris campaign?"

Sanders: "They spent a lot of money on her.

Rogan: "They spent $1.5 billion in the course of a couple of months."

Here’s the full exchange. (WATCH)

Bernie’s whole ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ schtick is so tired.

One poster says Sanders seems to only care about millions being spent on one side of the political aisle.

Because he knows that Kamala Harris had at least 30 more billionaires on her side than Trump did in the 2024 presidential election. Sanders is on the side of the billionaire party while pretending to fight it.

Commenters bring up that billionaire Mark Zuckerberg spent upwards of $400 million on Democrats five years ago.

That needs clarification as well. Sanders was against millionaires until he became one, then he conveniently switched his focus to billionaires. He's only worried about money that's bigger than his own, and only when it's spent fighting things he's for.

Posters note that Sanders’ hate-the-rich message rings hollow because of his hypocrisy.

Sanders is 83 years old, so you’d think he’d retire and enjoy his homes and wealth. Only gullible people take him seriously at this point; unfortunately, there’s still a surplus of people willing to hear him out.
