>- misrepresents his affiliation with mit

I've listened to a lot of his podcasts, I do not recall him mentioning MIT once.

>- blocks anybody who looks into his past

What? You mean in youtube comments? Aren't they supposed to be talking about the video not about whatever his past is? (I have no idea about his past, I just know he did something related to self driving cars at some point)

>- styles himself as an expert version of jre while being a terrible interviewer

He often describes himself as a terrible interviewer (which I disagree with), so I'm not sure how he's "styling himself" as anything

>- is often misinformed about the subjects of his podcasts.

He's an audience stand in who asks questions to the subject matter expert that he has on his podcast. If he already knew everything it would break the format.

He actually used to host his pod at MIT before he moved to Texas to be closer to his true loves, Joe and Elon. Haven't watched him in years since he moved away from tech and more into (mostly right wing) political guests but even then you could count on one hand the interviews he didn't mention Rogan or Musk.

By my count, only 1 of his last 20 guests was known for politics.

I feel like there must be some other reason you don't like him, because none of your reasons are consistent with reality.
