Podcaster Joe Rogan, who recently interviewed Donald Trump and Elon Musk in the days before the election, revealed how the Tesla and X owner was able to realize that the former president had won the election long before everyone else.
Speaking on his podcast, Rogan explained that Musk had developed a custom app on his phone that could give him precise vote numbers in advance, several hours before the networks announced it.
“Elon apparently created an app and knew who had won the election four hours before the results,” rogan said.
“When the results came in, four hours before they called him, Dana White told me that Elon said, ‘I’m leaving.’ It’s over. Donald won.”

Musk’s ownership of X also helped, as the billionaire regularly published posts supporting Trump and spreading misinformation about voting to his more than 203 million followers.
