Joe Rogan, host of The Joe Rogan Experience, publicly endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election just before Election Day. In a social media post, Rogan attributed his decision to the influence of Elon Musk, stating that Musk made “the most compelling case for Trump.” Rogan confirmed the endorsement explicitly, marking a significant shift from his previously neutral stance.
The endorsement follows Trump’s recent appearance on Rogan’s podcast, which garnered over 40 million views. During the interview, Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and discussed topics such as illegal immigration and freedom of speech. Rogan’s endorsement adds a high-profile boost to Trump’s campaign, particularly among Rogan’s massive audience.
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.

The announcement comes amid controversy surrounding Musk’s America PAC, which faced legal challenges over its $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes. Critics, including Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, labeled the initiative as deceptive, though Musk’s team defended it as a legitimate advocacy effort.
While Rogan’s support for Trump may influence voters, he has also expressed interest in hosting Harris, aiming for a balanced conversation. However, scheduling conflicts and format disagreements have so far prevented her appearance on the show.
