Description
<p>A long conversation with #ElonMusk about work, consciousness, family, money, AI and how the future might unfold. No script, no performance, just two people thinking out loud. A big thank you to Manoj Ladwa - a close friend of many years and a remarkable connector of India to the world and the world to India. Through India Global Forum, he has built one of the most influential platforms showcasing India’s rise. As I’ve said before, this is India’s decade, and leaders like @ManojLadwa and India Global Forum will be the flag bearers in making that a reality.</p><p><br></p><p>Timestamp:</p><p>00:00 – Settling in & the first few minutes of conversation</p><p>02:00 – On X, text vs video, how people communicate</p><p>05:00 – Free speech, balance and how platforms shape thought</p><p>07:30 – Collective consciousness & translation across languages</p><p>10:30 – Meaning of life, Hitchhiker’s Guide & asking the right questions</p><p>13:30 – Individuals vs collectives</p><p>16:00 – How progress happens and why teams matter</p><p>18:30 – What makes a company worth investing in</p><p>20:00 – Work Elon is most excited about across Tesla, SpaceX and xAI</p><p>22:00 – Self-driving, real-world AI and Optimus</p><p>23:30 – Starlink explained simply</p><p>27:00 – Cities, rural life and how AI may change where we live</p><p>30:00 – “Working will be optional”: what that means</p><p>33:00 – UHI, deflation and the next 20 years36:00 – Marshmallow test & delayed gratification</p><p>38:00 – On kids, family and time</p><p>40:00 – The letter X</p><p>42:00 – Money, energy and the far future</p><p>47:00 – AI, debt & what productivity unlocks</p><p>50:00 – Simulation theory & probabilities</p><p>55:00 – Morality, religion & what makes societies stable</p><p>59:00 – Family structure & the future of population</p><p>1:03:00 – Nature, nurture & potential</p><p>1:07:00 – Should kids still go to college?</p><p>1:11:00 – Truth, beauty, curiosity in AI</p><p>1:18:00 – Podcasts, content, and how stories are changing</p><p>1:23:00 – Language, history, and what remains timeless</p><p><br></p><p>#NikhilKamath Entrepreneur & Investor Host of 'WTF is' & 'People By WTF' Podcast </p><p>X: <a href="https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/</a> </p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/</a> </p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app</a> </p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/</a> </p><p><br></p><p>#elonmusk </p><p>X - <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://x.com/elonmusk</a> </p><p><br></p><p>Watch 'WTF is' Podcast on Spotify <a href="https://tinyurl.com/4nsm4ezn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://tinyurl.com/4nsm4ezn</a> </p><p>Watch 'People by WTF' Podcast on Spotify <a href="https://tinyurl.com/yme92c59" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://tinyurl.com/yme92c59</a> </p><p>Watch 'WTF Online' on Spotify <a href="https://tinyurl.com/4tjua4th" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://tinyurl.com/4tjua4th</a> </p><p><br></p><p>#WTFiswithnikhilkamath #PeopleByWTF #WTFOnline</p>
