Overview
- The three-hour Joe Rogan Experience episode released Friday shows the 54-year-old appearing tired and visibly older, with longer pauses than in prior visits, according to reports.
- Dr Stuart Fischer told media the presentation fits stress-related aging and warned that chronic stress raises the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
- He cited elevated cortisol, disrupted sleep, and collagen breakdown as mechanisms that can hasten visible aging and affect cognition and cardiovascular health.
- Fischer said he has not examined Musk and based his comments on visual observation and comparisons to earlier public appearances, including the 2024 Republican National Convention.
- Coverage links potential stressors to Musk’s political turn after acquiring X, his brief role with the DOGE initiative, and UK-related remarks reported by Metro referencing “civil war” and support for Tommy Robinson.
