Joe Rogan has endorsed Donald Trump in the 2024 election after sitting down with Elon Musk for a two-hour interview.
‘If it wasn’t for him (Musk) we’d be f***ed,’ Rogan wrote on X just hours before the polls open.
‘He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.
‘For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast’.
It’s a drastic reversal from the podcaster’s 2020 support for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., a self-proclaimed democratic socialist who helped develop the Green New Deal.
Joe Rogan has endorsed Donald Trump in the 2024 election after sitting down for Elon Musk for a two-hour interview
On Monday Rogan sat with the Tesla billionaire in a wide-ranging conversation for two hours and 45 minutes.
In the episode the Tesla chief details the case for Trump to Rogan who seems enraptured by Musk’s matter-of-fact explanations.
‘If Trump doesn’t win, this is the last election,’ Musk said.
‘I think you’re right,’ Rogan retorts immediately.
‘I think a lot of people are waking up and realizing that who have been lifelong Democrats,’ Rogan continues.
The Trump and Rogan podcast has received well over 40 million views on YouTube over the first couple days
The podcaster interviewed the former president for three hours from his studio in Austin, Texas, two weeks ago.
The dynamic duo had a wide-ranging conversation spanning UFO’s, immigration and tariff reform, and, of course, how awful the Republican thinks Kamala Harris is.
Rogan has also revealed there had been talks to have Kamala Harris on his show with more than 18 million listeners, but it never materialized.
The Democrat wanted to have the sit-down on the road while campaigning, but Rogan pushed back, writing that he wished they could have had conversation in his Austin studio.
Trump, meanwhile, made the journey to the Texas studio.

Hearing about the ‘big news’ on the eve of Election Day, Trump informed his audience at a rally of the podcasters announcement.
‘So somebody that’s very, very respected asked me to do his show two weeks ago, and I said, why not? And to me, it’s very big, because he’s the biggest there is, I guess, in that world, by far.’
‘And his name is Joe Rogan, and he’s never done this before. And it just came over the wires that Joe Rogan just endorsed me, is that, right? Thank you, Joe,’ Trump said.
Trump joked to his crowd that his appearance on the show made him hours late to a rally afterwords.
