Joe Rogan talks about the conspiracy theory surrounding the Maui fire. Following last year’s wildfires in Lahaina, Hawaii’s island of Maui, unverified tales and conspiracy theories proliferated almost as quickly as the flames did. There was the one where the government used energy beam weaponry to start the fire; in some versions, it was the US government, and in others, a foreign country.
Joe Rogan too recently mentioned these conspiracy theories in his podcast.
Some people falsely claimed that Oprah Winfrey, the wealthy media mogul, had stolen land. Still, others claimed that the flames were a cover for military misconduct.
More than fifty people have died in flames that have ravaged the island of Maui, according to Hawaii officials, who stated they are still unsure of the reason. High winds, low humidity, and dry conditions created the ideal environment for the fires to spread.

Conspiracy theories have gained traction, such as the ones claiming that a secret “energy weapon” deliberately caused the fire and that a clandestine group of world elites set the fires on purpose to clear the land for their sinister purposes.
The trend capitalizes on long-standing far-right myths that globalist institutions like the World Economic Forum and the United Nations are planning to force people into “smart cities” where cutting-edge technology will drastically restrict their freedoms. People on social media have accused celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Elon Musk of igniting the fires, which have claimed the lives of at least 111 people.
Although the wildfires add a fresh perspective to this kind of conversation, the posts rehash divisive language from the past, such as the “great replacement theory,” an absurd notion advanced by far-right figures like Tucker Carlson and former US President Donald Trump that suggests there is a deliberate and organized attempt to replace white Americans.
