Joe Rogan, host of the popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, endorsed former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race on Monday, the day before Election Day.
Rogan made the announcement via a post on X accompanied by the latest episode of his podcast in which he interviewed billionaire Elon Musk.
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.

“[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. Enjoy the podcast,” Rogan wrote on X.
Rogan, who boasts 18.2 million subscribers on YouTube, interviewed Trump in October and the former president’s running mate in the 2024 race, Ohio U.S. Senator JD Vance (R-OH), last week.
While an invitation was extended to Vice President Kamala Harris to be interviewed on his podcast, Rogan said Harris was unwilling to travel to his studios in Austin, Texas or be interviewed for longer than an hour.
During Monday’s interview on Rogan’s podcast, Musk, who also endorsed Trump in the race, stressed the importance of Tuesday’s election, saying, “Go out and vote. Vote like your life depends on it, vote like your future depends on it because it does.”
“If the Dems win this election, they will 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,” Musk said.
Another notable moment during Monday’s podcast included Rogan and Musk discussing the recent euthanization of Peanut the Squirrel, who was a domesticated squirrel owned by online personality Mark Longo.
Peanut was euthanized last week after state officials raided Longo’s home and seized both the squirrel and a domesticated raccoon, which sparked immense backlash from the public.
Musk used Peanut’s story to further urge listeners to get out the vote for Trump on Tuesday, saying, “How can it be that we live in America, supposedly the land of the free, and the government can barge into your home with guns, and take your pets and execute them. If they can do that to your pets, what do you think they can do to you? “
“We have to fight back against this…Get out there and go vote for Peanut,” Musk added.
Late Monday, Former president Donald Trump posted a video on X thanking Rogan. “Thank you for your endorsement, Joe Rogan—A great honor!,” he wrote.
