In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience on November 4, podcaster Joe Rogan talked with Elon Musk about the Sean “Diddy” Combs scandal. Rogan suggested that the situation resembled an Epstein-like compromise deal, questioning whether Diddy acted alone or had assistance from others.

"The whole thing is so strange to watch it play out. It seems that the Diddy thing is like an Epstein-type compromise deal," Rogan said.

He went on to add:

"People wanna think he’s attached to some intelligence agency or something like that. I think he’s a gangster who made a billion dollars and knew how to control people by compromising them,” Joe Rogan said.

The podcaster further claimed that Diddy did the alleged wrongdoings for his “own jolly” and was “sick about it.” His guest Elon Musk appeared to agree with him. The Tesla CEO pointed out that Hollywood industry insiders had to have known what Diddy was up to, yet didn’t do anything to prevent him over the years.


Exploring further about Joe Rogan and Elon Musk’s discussion surrounding Diddy

During the latest episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan got candid about two major news in the country – the U.S. election and the Diddy scandal. He told his guest Elon Musk how he believed “places have memory,” adding Diddy’s friends and associates who visited the rapper’s house should have had the thought, “What the f*ck happened here?” Yet, they were silent about him for so long.

Joe Rogan called the Bad Boy Records founder a billionaire gangster and compared him to late financier and convicted s*x offender Jeffrey Epstein. The podcaster mentioned how Combs must have had innumerable sources that helped him obtain “compromising stuff” on people. He went on to insinuate that industry insiders were not only complicit but also knew about Diddy’s alleged illicit activities but didn’t do much about them.

“It’s amazing like how many people in the Diddy party list are now supporting Kamala [Harris]. Like publicly, openly, all in. Diddy’s ex-girlfriend urges Americans to trust her judgment,” Rogan claimed.

Musk agreed referring to it as “insane” and then doubled down on how several celebrities such as Combs’ alleged former girlfriend Jennifer Lopez were rallying behind the Democratic presidential candidate. The X owner mocked JLo for “warning people against Trump,” and expressed doubts about whether she warned people against Diddy. He added, “Maybe, we shouldn’t trust her opinion.”

“People in the music and entertainment industry must have known that Diddy was abusing kids, yet they still fed him kids… It’s more real than people realize,” Musk shared.

Joe Rogan responded by saying that there had to be “rumors” about it and pointed out how comedian Katt Williams talked about it on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, back in January 2024.


Joe Rogan shared about endorsing Trump

Notably, following his podcast session with the SpaceX CEO, Rogan took to X and endorsed Donald Trump, on the eve of the presidential election. He credited Elon Musk for convincing him to support Trump and urged American voters to hear him out.

Sharing the 2-and-a-half-hour-long podcast, Rogan wrote in the caption:

“The great and powerful @elonmusk. If it wasn't for him, we'd be f*cked. 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.”

The Republican presidential candidate in turn offered his gratitude to Rogan for his last-minute endorsement during his Pittsburgh campaign speech. Trump shared how it was “nice” and “fantastic,” adding that Joe wasn’t someone who ever endorsed any politician. The Truth Social owner also shared how he had a “lot of fun” during his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience last month.
