Entrepreneur Elon Musk recently appeared on Nikhil Kamath’s popular podcast WTF is?, where he spoke candidly about his long-time fascination with the letter “X,” among other topics. The trailer of the episode released on 30 November 2025 has sparked huge excitement online.
What Musk Said
-
When Kamath asked why he uses “X” so often from his companies (like SpaceX, xAI) and products (like the Tesla Model X), to even naming one of his children, Musk laughed and replied, “It’s a good question… honestly, sometimes I wonder what’s wrong with me.”

The relaxed, humorous tone seen in the trailer, along with Musk’s spontaneous workout-style chat and memes, hints the full episode will blend deep ideas with lighthearted moments.
But the discussion isn’t only about branding quirks. According to reports, the conversation touches upon:
-
The significance of the U.S. visa regime and immigration, where Musk acknowledged that America has greatly benefited from “talented Indians and other skilled immigrants.” He also admitted that misuse of visa systems has caused backlash, but said shutting them down entirely would be a mistake.
-
Future of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on work, and Musk’s evolving vision for his platform (previously a social media site, now reimagined as broader infrastructure).
Why the Podcast Is Already Making Waves
-
The podcast teaser has gone viral, netizens are sharing clips, taking screenshots, and speculating about what Musk will reveal. The teaser’s mix of humour, bold statements and a minimalist black-and-white aesthetic has grabbed attention.

People are curious because Musk rarely gives interviews, so his appearance adds much value to global discourse on tech, immigration, globalization and digital culture.
