Joe Rogan, host of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience,’ endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election on Monday night, a significant move given his massive following. This endorsement came after a podcast interview with Elon Musk, who Rogan said provided the most compelling case for Trump’s candidacy.
“The great and powerful [Elon Musk],” Rogan wrote in an X post sharing the podcast. “If it wasn’t for him we’d be f***ed.”
“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,” he continued. “For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump.”
The great and powerful @elonmusk.
If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. 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.

Trump acknowledged and thanked Rogan for his support during his rallies, highlighting the importance of the endorsement.
“So somebody that’s very, very respected asked me to do his show two weeks ago, and I said, why not?” Trump told the crowd at a rally in Pennsylvania. “And to me, it’s very big, because he’s the biggest there is, I guess, in that world by far, somebody said the biggest beyond anybody in a long time, 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,” Trump continued. “Thank you, Joe!”

Previously, Rogan had been hesitant to endorse any candidate and had even praised Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which had previously caused tension with Trump.
Rogan’s interview with Trump, lasting three hours, has garnered significant attention, with over 45 million views on YouTube. This endorsement is crucial as it appeals to Rogan’s primarily male audience, possibly influencing the election’s outcome as it draws near.
