Elon Musk is back on Joe Rogan's show, and, well, you know how it went last time

This will be interesting.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is coming back on Joe Rogan's show, at 9 a.m. PT Thursday, Rogan announced on Twitter and Instagram.

"Round 2 with the super genius," he tweeted.

Musk was a guest on Rogan's podcast in September 2018, which turned out to be one of the most epic episodes ever, with Musk talking for roughly two and a half hours about topics such as artificial intelligence, the possibility of being in a computer simulation, and fancy Japanese swords.

Oh, and he also smoked weed (for the first time, he said), which got him into all sorts of trouble afterwards. You can check out the entire episode below.

While there's no telling what Musk will say or do in the new episode, there's certainly plenty of him to talk about. Tesla is doing much better than it did in late 2018; SpaceX's Starship vehicle is progressing nicely, and Musk's lately been vocal about his plans to send people to the Moon and Mars as soon as possible.

On the slightly more controversial side of things, there's a pandemic going on and Musk's opinion on it doesn't exactly line up with what most scientists say. Oh, and Musk just had a baby with his girlfriend Grimes.

In any case, we can't wait to see it.
