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.Timestamp:00:00 – Settling in & the first few minutes of conversation02:00 – On X, text vs video, how people communicate05:00 – Free speech, balance and how platforms shape thought07:30 – Collective consciousness & translation across languages10:30 – Meaning of life, Hitchhiker’s Guide & asking the right questions13:30 – Individuals vs collectives16:00 – How progress happens and why teams matter18:30 – What makes a company worth investing in20:00 – Work Elon is most excited about across Tesla, SpaceX and xAI22:00 – Self-driving, real-world AI and Optimus23:30 – Starlink explained simply27:00 – Cities, rural life and how AI may change where we live30:00 – “Working will be optional”: what that means33:00 – UHI, deflation and the next 20 years36:00 – Marshmallow test & delayed gratification38:00 – On kids, family and time40:00 – The letter X42:00 – Money, energy and the far future47:00 – AI, debt & what productivity unlocks50:00 – Simulation theory & probabilities55:00 – Morality, religion & what makes societies stable59:00 – Family structure & the future of population1:03:00 – Nature, nurture & potential1:07:00 – Should kids still go to college?1:11:00 – Truth, beauty, curiosity in AI1:18:00 – Podcasts, content, and how stories are changing1:23:00 – Language, history, and what remains timeless#NikhilKamath Entrepreneur & Investor Host of 'WTF is' & 'People By WTF' Podcast X: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/ #elonmusk X - https://x.com/elonmusk Watch 'WTF is' Podcast on Spotify https://tinyurl.com/4nsm4ezn Watch 'People by WTF' Podcast on Spotify https://tinyurl.com/yme92c59 Watch 'WTF Online' on Spotify https://tinyurl.com/4tjua4th #WTFiswithnikhilkamath #PeopleByWTF #WTFOnline

What struck me most in this conversation with AR Rahman was not his mastery but his humility. He talks openly about fear, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and why he constantly leaves comfort to evolve.We got into everything, Bombay Dreams, London, Hollywood, Oscars, classical music’s future, AI composition, spiritual surrender, and why consistency matters more than lifestyle.If you’ve ever wondered how someone stays grounded while being celebrated globally, you should watch this!Timestamps:00:00 – Early Life, Bangalore–Chennai Roots03:17 – Childhood Trauma, Losing His Father & Growing Up in Studios08:25 – Mother’s Strength, Family Survival & Entering Music Young10:30 – Playing for Composers, Jingles & Early Experiments13:30 – Building Panchathan Studio & Mani Ratnam Discovery24:00 – The 90s Trend Change & Redefining Indian Music26:36 – Classical Music, Gurus & The Spiritual Side of Art31:00 – AI, Contrarian Thinking & Beating Predictive Models34:29 – Talent, Practice, Singing & Evolving at Any Age40:00 – Global Work: UN, KM Conservatory & Purpose-Driven Projects43:18 – Fame, Privacy & The Price of Being Recognised47:15 – Creativity, Tech & DM Collaborations53:33 – Live Experiences, Theatre & Reinventing Entertainment56:15 – Meta Glasses & His Passion Project1:14:12 –His Personal Headspace, Altruism & Religious Beliefs1:29:40 – Tu Hi Re: The Making, History & Magic Behind the Song1:35:40 – The Future of Cinema: Immersive Screens, Haptics & Sound1:43:54 – Final Thoughts: India, Scale, News & What’s On His Mind #nikhilkamath : Co-founder of Zerodha and GruhasHost of 'WTF is' & 'People By WTF' PodcastTwitter: https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikhilkamathcio/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkamathcio?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_appFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikhilkamathcio/#arrahman : Indian musical composer and record producerTwitter - https://x.com/arrahmanInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/arrahman/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/arrahman/Threads - https://www.threads.com/@arrahmanWatch 'WTF is' Podcast on Spotifyhttps://tinyurl.com/4nsm4eznWatch 'People by WTF' Podcast on Spotifyhttps://tinyurl.com/yme92c59Watch 'WTF Online' on Spotifyhttps://tinyurl.com/4tjua4th#WTFiswithnikhilkamath #PeopleByWTF #WTFOnline
