Joe Rogan Endorses Trump After Discussing ‘Most Compelling Case For Trump You’ll Hear’ With Elon Musk
Popular podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan endorsed former President Donald Trump on the night before the election after a conversation with business magnate Elon Musk.
“If it wasn’t for him we’d be f-cked,” Rogan said of Musk in a post on X. “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,” Rogan added.
The endorsement comes after Rogan had both Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, on his show for lengthy interviews. He apparently tried to get Vice President Kamala Harris on the show as well, but indicated that her campaign had tried to preemptively neuter the interview by limiting the time and scope.
“I view this election as a turning point, like a fork in the road of destiny that is incredibly important,” Musk said. “You know, I’ve not been politically active until this election. And the reason I’ve been politically active this election is because I think if we don’t, if we don’t elect Trump, I think we will lose, we will lose democracy in this country.”
“What I’m saying is like, this election is the last chance to preserve democracy in America. Mark my words,” he added. “Everything they accuse Trump of, they are guilty of. And if Trump doesn’t win, this will be the last real election in America.”
Rogan and Musk marveled at the many hoaxes levied against Trump over the course of his political life, which have been perpetuated both by Democrats and their allies in the propaganda press.
“The sheer number of hoaxes that the Democratic Party is pushing over and over again. … Politicians are going to exaggerate. They’re going to misspeak. They’ll tell occasional untruths. That’s how it is in politics. But when you have deliberate concerted repeated pushing of hoaxes, you’re like, wait a second,” Musk said. “The Dems are like, ‘Oh we’re the good guys. We’re the honest people.’ No no, hang on. You can’t claim to be the good guys. You can’t claim to be the honest people if you’re deliberately pushing hoaxes that have been debunked thoroughly.”
Rogan and Musk also discussed the suppression of information about everything from Covid-19 to the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the role of Musk’s X platform in fighting the censorship-industrial complex.
Musk said that he believes if Harris wins, she will weaponize the Department of Justice (DOJ) against him. He likened the weaponized DOJ to the Soviet regime of Joseph Stalin, whose “chief torturer” Lavrentiy Beria made famous the phrase “show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”
“They decide that you’re the target and then they figure out the crime afterwards,” Musk said of the Democrat regime.
Democrats’ apparent plan for mass illegal immigration is another reason Musk said he believes self-government is on the line in this election.
“What the Democrat administration has been doing is importing vast numbers of illegals into swing states,” Musk explained. “If the Democrat party wants to win, like basically achieve permanent victory, all they need to do is turn the swing states.”
“They will keep stacking the deck by bringing in vast numbers of illegals into the swing states — keep stacking it so that the next election, each successive election will be worse than the last one,” he added.
