Joe Rogan endorsed former President Donald Trump hours before Election Day in a Monday night podcast and social media post.
The influential podcaster quoted billionaire Elon Musk in his X-post announcing the endorsement, saying the Tesla CEO makes “the most compelling case for Trump.”
“The great and mighty @elonmusk. Without him we would be screwed,” Rogan wrote.
“For the record, yes, that is an endorsement of Trump,” Rogan added.
The great and powerful @elonmusk.
If it weren’t for him, we would have been screwed. He makes, in my opinion, the most compelling case for Trump you will hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.
For the record: yes, that is an endorsement of Trump.

The approval was accompanied by a two-hour and forty-minute podcast on which Musk appeared. The billionaire has poured millions of dollars into efforts to elect Trump.
Rogan’s endorsement comes after Trump appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience earlier this month, a major win for the Republican candidate who got the chance to speak directly to Rogan’s more than 14 million Spotify listeners.
In less than two weeks, the three-hour conversation has been viewed more than 45 million times on YouTube.
Trump has worked hard to win over — and mobilize — young male voters, who make up the bulk of Rogan’s listening population.
In 2022, Rogan said he was not a Trump supporter, adding that he had turned down the opportunities to have the former president on his show.
“I don’t want to help him. I’m not interested in helping him,” Rogan said at the time.
Rogan also tried to pursue an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, but said her campaign asked him to travel to have the conversation.
“I strongly believe that the best way to do this is in the studio in Austin,” he said on really that we can make it happen.”
