Podcast host Joe Rogan proposes that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) investigate Disney’s Snow White.
The live-action film, featuring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, flopped at the box office despite its $250 million budget. Rogan, speaking with comedian Kurt Metzger, didn’t hold back.

“How much did this cost?” Rogan asked on his show. “$250 million? They need to use DOGE for this.” He criticized Zegler’s political comments during the press tour, calling it a misstep. “Tell her to skip the politics; it’s about the movie,” he joked. Ziegler later apologized for contributing to “negative discourse,” admitting that her emotions had gotten the better of her.

Metzger weighed in, sharing the blame. “They’re putting all the responsibility on her,” he said. “Yes, she’s young and has made mistakes but didn’t write the script.” Rogan also criticized Disney’s decision to use CGI dwarves instead of real actors, which sparked outrage among fans. Actor Peter Dinklage had famously opposed casting actors with dwarfism, further intensifying the controversy.
