The podcaster has agreed with the “great and powerful” Elon Musk that the 2024 election will decide the country’s future
Podcaster Joe Rogan has endorsed former President Donald Trump following an interview with one of his most vocal supporters, billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk, on the eve of Trump’s faceoff against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Rogan promoted his interview with the “great and powerful” Musk in a post on X, insisting that if it weren’t for the self-described free speech absolutist, “we’d be f**ked.”
“Musk 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,” Rogan told his 13.3 million followers on Monday evening.
During the interview, Musk reiterated his warning that the 2024 election could become the last if Democrats win and move to “legalize enough illegals to turn the swing states, and everywhere will be like California.”
“There will be no escape. This is it. This is the last chance. Go out and vote. Vote like your life depends on it. Vote like your future depends on it, because it does,” he urged the audience.
The news soon reached Trump, who was holding a rally in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania at the time.
“It just came over the wires that Joe Rogan just endorsed me. Is that true? Thank you, Joe. That’s so nice. And he doesn’t do that,” Trump said.
Last month, Trump appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, where he accused his Democratic opponents of representing an “enemy from within” that undermines the country and poses a greater threat than any foreign adversary. The three-hour conversation covered a wide range of topics and garnered over 45 million views on YouTube alone.
The host of the largest podcast in the US also wanted to interview Trump’s rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, but could not reach an agreement on terms. The Harris campaign allegedly wanted Rogan “to travel to her, and they only wanted to do an hour,” leading him to decline the offer despite his “sincere wish” to “get to know her as a human being.”
