Joe Rogan and Elon Musk Say Something Unexpected About Katy Perry After Her Confirmed Relationship With Justin Trudeau
‘It’s a Political Power Play, Not a Pop Song’: Joe Rogan and Elon Musk Weigh In on Katy Perry & Justin Trudeau
The celebrity-political romance of Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has now drawn the attention of two of the world’s most influential, and often controversial, commentators: podcast titan Joe Rogan and X owner Elon Musk.
The unexpected comments from the duo skip past the usual tabloid chatter about yacht kisses and red-carpet debuts, offering a much more cynical, but highly relevant, analysis of the relationship. Their verdict? It’s a calculated, political move for both parties.
Joe Rogan: ‘It’s in His DNA’
During a recent segment on The Joe Rogan Experience, the podcast host and his guests discussed the viral photos of Perry and Trudeau, quickly dismissing the idea that the romance was a simple Hollywood fling.
Rogan, who has a long history of public criticism towards Trudeau, didn’t hold back, leaning into the popular sentiment that the former Prime Minister is more drawn to the spotlight than the substance of governance. Rogan and his guests reportedly echoed claims from other commentators:
The Trudeau Legacy: The discussion noted the irony of Trudeau seemingly following in the footsteps of his father, Pierre Trudeau, who also famously dated a celebrated star (Barbra Streisand). The implication being, the attraction to high-profile partners is a lifelong tendency for the Trudeau men.
The Post-Political Move: Rogan’s conversation highlighted the view that Trudeau, now “free from the ties of office,” is actively embracing a life in the global spotlight that Katy Perry provides. As one commentator Rogan quoted put it, this relationship is Trudeau’s answer to a mid-life crisis—a way to stay globally relevant and escape the pressures of Canadian politics.
In short, Rogan framed the relationship as a predictable move for a political figure who is “inextricably wedded to the spotlight.”
Elon Musk: The Tweet That Said Everything
While Elon Musk has not explicitly tweeted about the Katy Perry/Trudeau romance itself, his previous and persistent critiques of the former PM and his government provide the perfect, unexpected context for the dating news.
Musk has previously used his massive platform on X to:
Mock Trudeau’s Authority: Musk has publicly mocked Trudeau and his policies, once suggesting that the former PM’s political actions proved that the government itself was the “fringe minority.”
Slam His Principles: The tech mogul has repeatedly accused Trudeau of “crushing free speech” in Canada.
The unexpected part of Musk’s commentary isn’t what he’s said about Katy Perry—it’s what he hasn’t said about her. By maintaining his long-standing, intense public disdain for Trudeau, Musk’s silence on the dating news essentially serves as a harsh political comment: He sees the former PM’s celebrity pursuit as irrelevant to his political legacy.
For Musk, who often sees the world in terms of “woke” ideology versus free speech, the spectacle of a political leader dating a pop star only reinforces his view of the elite class he often targets.
The Cynical Consensus
While Katy Perry may see a deep, genuine connection, the consensus from the Joe Rogan and Elon Musk corners of the internet is clear: this is a highly transactional union. It’s a celebrity seeking a more ‘grounded’ partner with global influence, and a former politician desperate to stay in the world’s most rarefied air.
For the two most influential contrarians online, the relationship is just another highly visible example of a world where celebrity has completely eclipsed authentic political leadership.
