Joe Rogan, known for his vast guest list and open-minded approach, has often maintained a neutral stance on political issues. He prefers to let his guests make their case to his sizable audience. But, in a surprising turn of events, the influential podcast host has officially endorsed Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
However, it seems that a recent interview with tech billionaire Elon Musk swayed Rogan’s opinion. Musk led him to believe that Trump was the best candidate for the job. The UFC commentator and podcast host has built a loyal following of over 18 million subscribers on YouTube and 14 million on Spotify. His endorsement means a lot for the former president.
“The great and powerful @elonmusk. 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,” wrote Rogan via X.
The announcement of Joe Rogan’s endorsement of Trump sent shockwaves through the political landscape. The podcaster’s influence among younger, predominantly male voters is well-documented. Donald Trump, who has actively courted this demographic, will undoubtedly be pleased to have Rogan’s backing.
It’s worth noting that Rogan’s political leanings have been somewhat of a moving target over the years. In the past, he has expressed support for progressive candidates like RFK and even called Trump an “existential threat to democracy.” However, it seems that Musk’s persuasive arguments have led him to reconsider his stance.

It all started with Trump’s recent visit to Rogan’s studio for a podcast episode. Sitting across from the podcaster, Trump confidently declared that the podcaster would not vote for Kamala Harris. The former president then asked him for an endorsement.
“He [Elon Musk] gave me the nicest endorsement. You should do the same thing, Joe, because you cannot be voting for Kamala.”
Joe Rogan has long maintained a somewhat neutral stance on political issues. However, it appears that a recent interview with Musk may have swayed the podcaster’s opinion. Now, Trump is standing at the brink of voting day and has the endorsement of not only Elon Musk but also the most excellent podcast host in the world.
