Is viral teaser on Elon Musk's appearance on Nikhil Kamath's podcast AI-generated?
New Delhi, Nov 29
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is likely to feature on an upcoming episode of Zerodha founder Nikhil Kamath’s “WTF†podcast, as indicated by Kamath's viral social media post.
Kamath released a 39-second black‑and‑white teaser clip on the social media platform X, with the caption “Caption thisâ€, directly tagged with Elon Musk. Users wondered whether the footage was generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI), and they shared their doubt, tagging the Grok model.
The AI model responded to the queries, saying that the video ‘appears to be AI-generated.'
The post had amassed about 3.8 million views, 35,000 likes, and over 3,200 comments as of 10.10 am on Saturday.
The teaser showed Musk and Kamath in what appears to be a factory setting, casually sipping coffee, exchanging glances, and breaking into laughter without sharing a word.
The users also speculated on the topics Kamath and Musk might have discussed, including technology, space exploration, and business insights, with one fan quipping, “We got Elon Musk and Nikhil’s podcast before GTA VI.â€
Others praised Kamath’s influence and predicted the clip would dominate the online social media space and be a topic of discussion on the internet. Past guests at Kamath’s ‘WTF’ podcast included Microsoft founder Bill Gates, biotech pioneer Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor, Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani, industrialist Kumar Birla, Perplexity AI's Aravind Srinivas, and venture capitalist Vinod Khosla.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had appeared on Kamath’s podcast, sharing his childhood, worldview, and views on India’s rising influence in global tech.
Elon Musk-run electric car company Tesla earlier this week announced the opening of its Tesla Centre in Gurugram, marking a major step in the company’s expansion in India.
The new facility brings retail, after-sales service, vehicle delivery, and charging facilities together under one roof for the first time in the country.

The AI confusion is so typical of our times! 😄 But honestly, if Grok itself says it's AI-generated, maybe Kamath is just trolling everyone. Smart marketing strategy!
First PM Modi, now Elon Musk - Nikhil's podcast is becoming the most influential platform in India. This shows how much global leaders value Indian audiences and markets.
While this is exciting, I hope the actual conversation has more substance than just hype. Sometimes these celebrity podcasts can be quite superficial. Looking forward to meaningful discussions about technology and India's future.
Tesla opening in Gurugram and now Musk on Indian podcast - great timing! 🇮🇳 Hope this means more investment and job opportunities in Indian EV sector. The future looks electric!
The "before GTA VI" comment cracked me up! 😂 But seriously, this is massive for Indian content creators. Shows we're competing with global standards in podcasting and tech discussions.
