Bengaluru gets first look at Kamath x Musk podcast — early screening sparks buzz

Zerodha founder Nikhil Kamath revealed a sneak peek of his upcoming podcast episode featuring none other than Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Friday and it quickly went viral on social media.

And now, amid the social media frenzy, a pre-release screening is being organised for limited members in Bengaluru.

On Friday, Kamath shared a brief, black-and-white clip on X (formerly Twitter) showing the two in what appears to be a factory, with the message, "Caption this", tagging Musk.

The 39-second video captures them casually sipping coffee and exchanging glances before breaking into laughter. The video garnered millions of views within hours of posting it.

Many users expressed disbelief that the Tesla chief executive had appeared in a teaser for the Indian entrepreneur’s programme, while others asked how Kamath persuaded Musk to participate in the 39-second monochrome recording.

A significant number of viewers also suspected the footage had been altered or produced using artificial intelligence. Some tagged Grok, the AI model associated with Musk, seeking clarification. In response to one such query, the model stated that the clip “appears to be AI-generated”.

Someone else listed previous high-profile guests on Kamath’s show 'People by WTF' and remarked, “Bill Gates, Ranbir Kapoor, the prime minister of the country, AR Rahman, Elon Musk. Nikhil Kamath's podcasting graph continues to rise. Every time I thought, ‘This is the bar.’ What's next?” A further comment stated, “Why does it feel like AI?”

"Nikhil Kamath is the best podcaster in the country right now. He invests in public and private markets as a hobby and runs a small side project called Zerodha," a user remarked.
