Donald Trump took a number of political risks in this election cycle, including appearing on a number of podcasts with edgy comedians, including the most famous of them all, Joe Rogan. Following his discussion with Trump, Rogan also had J.D. Vance on the show, and then Elon Musk. After his discussion with Musk, Rogan explained that the billionaire made the best case for Trump, and that he agreed. The Spectator’s Matthew Foldi reports:
Donald Trump’s podcast bonanza just paid off with the biggest win possible: a formal endorsement from Joe Rogan, whose massive audience has been coveted by both Trump and Kamala Harris in the final days of the election.
In Rogan’s latest episode, with top Trump surrogate and X CEO Elon Musk, the two talked for almost three hours in Rogan’s Austin studio — standard fare for his show, which was apparently too much for the sitting vice president, whose team would only agree to an hour-long interview on the road, which never occurred. But the most important takeaway came when Rogan posted the episode, along with his commentary. “If it wasn’t for [Musk] we’d be fucked,” Rogan wrote. “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.”
Trump, Rogan said, is “so crazy, that if you tell him he can’t be president,” as Seth Meyers did during an infamous White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech, he will go “‘OK motherfucker’” and do it. Musk, it turns out, was at that dinner.
For weeks, Musk and his America PAC have been making the case for Trump from Michigan to Madison Square Garden. On Rogan, Musk — while donning a trademark “Occupy Mars” shirt — stumped for Trump and against the Democratic Party in between discussions about video game-playing surgeons, Alex Jones, his latest awe-inspiring “chopsticks” rocket catch, Barack Obama’s chef, Hillary Clinton’s alleged body count, Peanut the Squirrel, Anthony Fauci — whom Rogan called a “monster” — and the dangers of George Soros-funded prosecutors.
“If Trump doesn’t win, this’ll be the last real election in America,” Musk said, to Rogan’s agreement.
