The world’s number one podcaster Joe Rogan has declared his endorsement of President Donald Trump on the eve of Election Day.
Rogan has publicly endorsed Trump alongside a special surprise episode featuring Elon Musk just before the critical 2024 election.
“The great and powerful @elonmusk,” Rogan said in a post on X alongside the video of his podcast episode.
“If it wasn’t for him, we’d be f**ked.
“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.”

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.

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.”
“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 added.
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.
“The liberals are now pro-censorship, talking about regulating free speech.
“It’s bananas to watch,” he added
Trump responded to Rogan’s critique of censorship from some Democrats.
“Joe, they come after their political opponents,” Trump remarked, referencing his ongoing legal battles—a point he’s echoed frequently on the campaign trail.
“I’ve been investigated more than Al Capone.”
During the new podcast episode, Rogan and Musk touched on Trump’s de-platforming following the January 6 events, calling it “wild.”
Musk pointed out that Trump had posted messages urging calm on the day, saying, “Do not riot, don’t do any destruction of property,” yet was still banned.
“People said that was some sort of dog whistle, that he meant the opposite,” Musk remarked.
“I’m like, okay, so if you want, we’ll give you Trump’s account, and you can post what you think he should have posted.
“He could post nothing, he could ask people to calm down…
“It was wild. It didn’t make any sense.”
Elsewhere during Trump’s Pittsburgh rally, Megyn Kelly gave a powerful speech to endorse the 45th president.
“He got mocked by the Left for saying he’ll be a protector of women,” Kelly said.
“He WILL be a protector of women — and it’s why I’m voting for him.”

With Election Day nearing, the conversation and Rogan’s endorsement have generated considerable buzz, adding a unique dimension to Trump’s campaign momentum as he seeks to rally his base for a crucial final push.
ELON MUSK: “I view this election as a fork in the road of destiny. The reason I have been politically active this election is because if we don't elect Trump we will lose Democracy in this country and the two party system”
