Podcasting icon Joe Rogan has publicly endorsed Donald Trump for President, dropping his support alongside a special surprise episode featuring Elon Musk just before the 2024 election.
“The great and powerful @elonmusk. If it wasn’t for him, we’d be in big trouble,” Rogan posted on X, sharing the podcast. “He makes 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.”
During a rally in Pittsburgh, Trump reacted live to the news of Rogan’s endorsement.
Earlier in October, Trump had appeared on Rogan’s show in an episode that amassed tens of millions of views despite reported censorship from major tech platforms. During that episode, Rogan commented on a rising frustration among young people with what he described as “a lot of this woke bullsh*t,” adding, “Young people are tired of being scolded by people they think are mentally ill who tell them what society’s moral standards should be.”
He continued, “The rebels are Republicans now. Like, you want to be a rebel? You want to be punk rock? You want to buck the system? You’re a conservative now.
