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.

“If it wasn’t for him we’d be f—ked,” Rogan said about Musk, highlighting the billionaire’s influence on his decision. “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.”
Rogan then clarified his stance unequivocally, adding, “For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump.”
This endorsement follows Rogan’s recent sit-down with Trump on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, which aired on October 25 and has since garnered millions of views.

Rogan’s endorsement was well-timed for Trump, who was informed of the news during a rally in Pittsburgh on Monday night. “I have some more big news now.

He continued, “And to me, it’s very big because he’s the biggest there is, I guess, in that world by far… And his name is Joe Rogan and he’s never done this before.” Trump went on to thank Rogan, Musk, and conservative commentator Megyn Kelly for their support, saying, “He doesn’t do endorsements, but he did an endorsement. So I just want to say Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, and Megyn, thank you very much.”
