From martial arts commentator to one of the world’s most influential podcasters, Joe Rogan has never been shy about sharing his opinions. His journey with Tesla cars isn’t new, as he owns two already. Years ago, Elon Musk convinced him to try out the Model S. Fast forward to today, and Rogan’s garage has become something of a Tesla showroom – though he still keeps his beloved muscle cars around.

In his latest podcast episode, Rogan couldn’t contain his enthusiasm about Tesla’s electric vehicles. This came as he is currently waiting for his third customized model to arrive. He made a declaration about the Teslas that has the combustion engine community up in arms.

“I love those cars. It makes other cars feel stupid…It’s different than any other vehicle,” Rogan said.

What makes Rogan’s endorsement particularly interesting is his brutal honesty in comparing his classic muscle cars to Tesla’s. He even admitted that his beloved 1960s and early 1970s muscle cars – which he still adores – are “dog sh**” compared to a Tesla.

The friendship between Rogan and Musk has blossomed since their first podcast encounter, leading to some pretty memorable moments. They have even tested a Cybertruck’s durability with arrows and used flamethrowers in the studio lobby. Their conversations have evolved from simple car talk to discussions about everything from space exploration to artificial intelligence and, recently, politics.

 

Joe Rogan Credits Elon Musk For His Endorsement Of Donald Trump

Rogan’s podcast journey started in a small room with a handful of listeners, but now millions tune in to hear his thoughts on everything from martial arts to space exploration. Known for dancing around political endorsements, the podcast host has typically kept his presidential preferences close to his chest.

But everything changed after a recent chat with tech maverick Elon Musk. The Tesla CEO, who’s never been one to hold back his opinions, apparently made what Joe Rogan called “the most compelling case for Trump.”  Taking to X, Rogan didn’t just dip his toe into political waters, he dove right in as he declared his endorsement for Trump.

“The great and powerful @elonmusk. If it wasn’t for him we’d be f**ked. 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 wrote.

The timing of this endorsement is particularly interesting, considering Trump had recently visited Rogan’s studio for a podcast episode. During their conversation, Trump confidently suggested that Rogan wouldn’t vote for Kamala Harris and directly asked for his support. Now, with Trump being re-elected, it remains to be seen whether Rogan will back his endorsement as time passes.
