A little too late for that--Rogan, who was too blind to see what could likely happen, the day before Election Day: "(Elon Musk) 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."

A more important question is: Why aren’t reporters in the streets, given how the administration has treated the (currently free) press?
