  • Podcaster Joe Rogan endorsed Donald Trump in a Monday evening post.

  • Rogan cited Elon Musk, saying the billionaire made the "most compelling case" for Trump.

  • Musk has poured millions of dollars into trying to get Trump elected.

  • Joe Rogan endorsed former President Donald Trump hours ahead of Election Day in a Monday evening podcast and social media post.

    The influential podcaster cited billionaire Elon Musk in his X post announcing the endorsement, saying the Tesla CEO makes "the most compelling case for Trump."

    "The great and powerful If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked," Rogan wrote.

    "For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump," Rogan added.

    The endorsement accompanied a two-hour and forty-minute podcast on which Musk appeared. The billionaire has poured millions of dollars into the effort to elect Trump.

    Rogan's endorsement comes after Trump appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience earlier this month, a major win for the Republican candidate who had the chance to speak directly to Rogan's more than 14 million Spotify listeners.

    In less than two weeks, the three-hour conversation has racked up over 45 million views on YouTube.

    Trump has been working hard to win over — and mobilize — young male voters , who comprise the bulk of Rogan's listening demographic.

    In 2022, Rogan said he was not a Trump supporter, adding that he had turned down opportunities to have the former president on his show.

    "I don't want to help him. I'm not interested in helping him," Rogan said at the time.

    Rogan also tried to pursue an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris but said her campaign requested he travel to conduct the conversation.

    "I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin," he said on X. "My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being. I really hope we can make it happen."
