Days after conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination at an event at Utah Valley University, investor Andrew K Smith has now shared his final interview before he was killed.
In his last interview, he spoke about his views on entrepreneurship, his vision for the future, building businesses and the way he admires Elon Musk. Further, he also spoke about the practices for sustainable entrepreneurship, avoiding burnout and honouring the Sabbath.
Smith, while sharing the video on microblogging site X, wrote, “An hour before his event at UVU, I sat down with Charlie Kirk for what would become his final recorded conversation: a warm, inspiring, and apolitical dialogue on entrepreneurship, building businesses and an outlook for tomorrow."
While speaking about Musk, Kirk said that he is a "phenomenal entrepreneur" and an "unbelievable founder". He also praised Musk for his time management qualities and expressed admiration for the way that Musk managed his schedule without executive assistance.
Musk also shared Kirk's interview video and wrote, "I know you are resting in peace, Charlie. Still can’t believe this happened. Your memory lives strong."

Kirk was shot dead by Tyler Robinson on September 10, around 12:20 pm local time, while he was answering a question at Utah Valley University in Orem.
Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder. The charge implies Robinson could face death penalty if convicted of killing the conservative activist.
Utah prosecutors have charged Robinson, who confessed to killing Kirk in a message to his roommate, with seven counts in state court. The 22-year-old is accused of firing a single rifle shot from a rooftop that pierced Kirk's neck on the campus of Utah Valley University.
