Rogan, who was hosting fellow comedian Duncan Trussell on Saturday, said the Tesla CEO's potential contribution in completing the purchase would be enormous because the current state of affairs in the world when it comes to free speech, communications, and scientific mysteries.
"You have to understand, and we all do, somewhere," Rogan said at the start of the podcast. "But, you're alive in the middle of this experience, and it's playing out, where no one feels comfortable, no one understands what's happening, no one knows what life is, no one, not a single person."
He called Musk a "super-intelligent leader-type character that seems to have great ethics and morals too," comparing him to a movie character who was "genuinely working to save humanity."
He then said in the grand scheme of things, Musk has had "everyone so excited," including himself.
Musk has recently bought a 9% stake at the social media giant and several days later officially announced that he was making an offer to buy the remaining 91%, saying that making it private would ensure that it would allow free speech to flourish. Musk has been critical of Twitter's content moderation policy, which some say is too strict and even borders on censorship.
