Nikhil Kamath–Elon Musk podcast teaser hints at fun talk on friendships and ‘X’

Nikhil Kamath–Elon Musk teaser

Nikhil Kamath has released a new teaser of his WTF podcast featuring Elon Musk, highlighting a relaxed conversation that blends humour, personal reflections and discussion of Musk’s fascination with the letter “X”.

Light banter and first impressions

The black-and-white teaser shows Kamath and Musk sitting together over coffee, exchanging jokes and easy laughter as they talk. Kamath remarks that Musk appears “bigger, bulkier, muscular” than he had imagined, prompting Musk to respond in a playful, self-deprecating way and setting an informal tone for the episode.

“The first thing I must say is, you’re a lot bigger and bulkier, muscular than I would have thought you are,” Kamath says, to which Musk replies jokingly, “Oh, stop you before you make me blush.”

This opening exchange frames the teaser as a friendly, candid chat rather than a formal interview.

Focus on friendships and ‘X’

The teaser hints at Kamath asking Musk about his friendships and personal connections, suggesting that the full conversation will explore the people around Musk as much as his companies. A recurring theme is Musk’s long-running obsession with the letter “X”, which spans his ventures and products, and is addressed with humour and a touch of introspection.

When Kamath asks why he likes the letter X so much, Musk jokes that it is a good question and adds that sometimes he wonders what is wrong with him.

These moments signal that the episode will mix light-hearted talk with glimpses into Musk’s mindset and branding choices.

Pop culture and The Matrix

The teaser also includes a brief pop culture detour when Kamath asks which character from The Matrix Musk would prefer to be. Musk answers that he would “hopefully not” be Agent Smith while still calling him his hero, adding another layer of playful, geeky banter to the clip.

This reference to The Matrix reinforces the teaser’s mix of casual fun and light philosophical undertones, as the conversation moves between culture, identity and technology.

Social media buzz and anticipation

Kamath shared the teaser on his social media accounts, especially on X, where it quickly drew attention from fans and tech enthusiasts. An earlier, much shorter teaser without audible dialogue had already triggered speculation about whether Musk was indeed the guest, as viewers tried to decode the black-and-white visuals and context.

The new, longer clip confirms Musk as the guest and has significantly raised expectations for the full episode of the WTF podcast, which many now see as one of Kamath’s most anticipated releases.

Author’s summary: The new WTF teaser with Elon Musk shows relaxed humour, talk of friendships and Musk’s love for “X”, sharply raising online curiosity about the full episode.
