Joe Rogan endorses Donald Trump for president

The influential podcast host Joe Rogan has endorsed Donald Trump for president, writing on social media that his choice had been influenced by “the great and powerful Elon Musk”.

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”, Rogan wrote on X. “For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump.”

Rogan shared his endorsement along with a link to a nearly three-hour-long interview with Musk, posted on Monday.

Rogan, 57, described recently by Bloomberg as “widely accepted as the most popular podcaster on Earth”, has an overwhelmingly male audience. He recently interviewed Donald Trump on the show, and, as recently as last week, was negotiating for a sit-down with the Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Rogan is a former mixed martial arts commentator, comedian, and game show host whose show, The Joe Rogan Experience, is Spotify’s No 1 podcast offering.
