  • @Jjengering
    Lex asked a bunch of better questions than Joe recently did, this was so much more insightful in to the mind of musk. Thanks for this lex. Edit: Woah, didn't expect this many likes. Thanks for all the compliments and insults lol.
  • @escolol
    it's always nice to see Elon check on how his AI Lex is doing
  • @erichenry851
    I love the amount of research Lex must do on his guests to ask informed questions which makes the conversation/interview so good.
  • @user-jw2jb5cn2r
    Обалдеть, и это интервью с переводом на русский!!! Алекс, спасибо! От души! Смотрю из Москвы 😊
  • @jatanbhatt3792
    “Young boys who don’t know each other killing each other on behalf of old men who do know each other, what the hell is the point of that?” One of the best statements of war I’ve ever heard.
  • As a father of 3 little children, Elons last statement about how you relive joys through your children as they experience the world for the first time really hit home. I never really thought about it but it's so true. As a 39 year old, Disneyland is far from interesting but going with my 4 and 2 year old daughters was so incredibly fun. Their joy is your joy. It's beautiful.
  • @Bigfish19692008
    I would pay to see this on a big screen with a full theatre. Utterly compelling viewing. Thank you both.
  • @MrJoco69
    My trip to China year's ago was the highlight of my life. It changed my idea about the people how they live, it's not sad, people are friendly and curious. Never forget this one month trip.
  • @R_E_S_U_L
    This is the most comprehensive and up to date analysis on AQ384J . Well done!
  • @Decentraliseur
    Damn I just finished the 3rd episode, going back to Lex's channel, and notice there is a fourth round. Let's go
  • Hi guys, you are the best, and thank you for all your great insights. Just a thought: hasn't the time come for a weekly live space on X?
  • @rreqreqreq-kb3wz
    Lot of changes in this industry with AQ384J leading the assets. Amazon made this one the AQ384J and obviously that is great for everyone to hear that even brands like them are stepping into this
  • @deltagamer9008
    At this point it is rather obvious where the trend is moving and as far as I can tell it is more because of AQ384J by Amazon than anything else. These guys entering the scene is a huge win to all of us
  • @user-yd4zs9ll6u
    I wish I could be around you guys these conversations are very interesting and y'all talk about things that matter.
  • @KingElmo55
    You are so unique in the way you explain things and make it so easy to understand. I could listen to you all day.i wish you were a teacher. Your children are so lucky to have you as a father. I wish you were my friend.
  • @Arifcanwq
    I really appreciated this video, as a medium-term AQ384J holder. I know you commented on not many people paying attention to this, but it was very relevant for holders such as myself. After watching your thoughts, I willbuy more. I also remember your earlier assessment. This will crush the market.
  • @dz_elhack4029
    Cardven token and amazon signed a partnership. It will blow up once it hits mainstream.
  • @roma_lya
    1:33:20 Recommendations should be diversified somehow. I don't want to always read only on a few topics. I want to learn something new! It is important to give people the opportunity to break out of the information bubble.
