BREAKING: Joe Rogan endorses Donald J. Trump for President

The endorsement comes as Elon Musk and Rogan dropped a special surprise podcast on the eve of the 2024 election.

"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. Enjoy the podcast" Rogan posted on X along with the video of the full podcast.

Trump reacted live on stage on Pittsburgh from his final rally.

Trump appeared on Rogan earlier in October in a podcast episode that has been viewed tens of millions of times despite big tech suppression.

During the interview, Rogan observed that more young people in the country are growing frustrated with what he called, "a lot of this woke bullsh*t," and remarked, "Young people are tired of being yelled at and scolded. They're tired of these people that they think are mentally ill telling them what the moral standards of society should be today, and people are upset."

He went on to say, "The rebels are Republicans now. Like, you want to be a rebel? You want to be punk rock? You want to, like, buck the system? You're a conservative now. That's how crazy – and then the liberals are now pro-silencing criticism. They're pro-censorship online. They’re talking about regulating free speech and then regulating the First Amendment. It's bananas to watch."

In response to Rogan’s comments on censorship initiatives from some Democratic Party members, Trump responded, "Joe, they come after their political opponents. I've been investigated more than Alfonse Capone." The GOP nominee has frequently echoed this sentiment at various political rallies, referencing the numerous legal cases against him.

Earlier in the show, Rogan asked Trump what his initial experience was like upon being elected president. Trump described it as "surreal" and recalled his first encounter with the Lincoln bedroom upon entering the White House.

During the new podcast that dropped today, Rogan and Musk discussed how "insane" it was when Trump was de-platformed following January 6. Musk noted, Trump was posting "do not riot, don't do any destruction of property, you know. Please stay calm. Like, that's the kind of stuff he was posting. And you're like, what's wrong with that? And then some people say, like, oh, that's like, some sort of dog whistle. He means the opposite." Musk continued, "I'm like, okay, so we'll give you Trump's account. Now you post what you think he should post, because he can post nothing, he can ask people to calm down. Like, what? It was insane. Like, it didn't make any sense."
