Joe Rogan has revealed his US presidential endorsement hours before the start of the election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

American voters across 50 states are preparing to cast their ballots after a bitterly contested US election campaign, which will see Trump or Harris become president.

And Rogan has thrown his support behind Trump as he seeks a return to the White House.

On X, Rogan referenced Elon Musk while endorsing Trump in a post that divided UFC fans on social media.

"The great and powerful @elonmusk. If it wasn't for him we'd be f**ked," he 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. Enjoy the podcast."

Needless to say, the UFC commentator backing Trump got people online talking as they made their feelings clear.

One X user wrote: "God Rogan's development over the years has been disappointing."

A second tweeted: "And? A podcaster endorses his mate's pick for president while having both on his show just before the election? Did anyone for a second not think this 'endorsement' was coming?

A third added: "What a deeply disappointing person."

A fourth said: "Man, I miss when JRE was about aliens and DMT. Just seeing Rogan go from left to MAGA right within a few years is just wild."

Another commented: "I'll never understand how someone can u-turn on every single political belief they've ever held in their 50s. Strange."

Trump not only has Rogan's backing but also support from UFC CEO Dana White, who has appeared at several campaign rallies.

The 78-year-old invited White to his now-defunct casino and hotel in Atlantic City to stage UFC shows in the early days of the company.

UFC 31 and UFC 32 helped boost the UFC's profile and helped it secure larger ventures for futures events.

White has stayed loyal to Trump through his evolution from business to politics.
