Elon Musk-headed DOGE should look into $250m budget for Snow White, suggests Joe Rogan

He commented that Zegler did not write the script and that she did not decide to remove the dwarves. He added that Peter Dinklage did.

A report in The National Desk stated that Rogan and Metzger discussed whether Zegler’s outspoken political views contributed to the film’s failure.
