I love how Lex asked "How are you doing?". That was very kind of him.

"Trying to defeat Uber Lilith."

"Uber Lilith" is a video game boss in the Diablo 4 game. They spoke about her earlier in the podcast. It was just a joke but he kind of mumbled it.

It's so heart warming when two sentient robots come together and share their vulnerabilities. Gives me hope for humanity

[Quicksilence]

Loneliness and being alone are not the same, loneliness is a feeling that one also can experience when surrounded by friends or family, thats the worst part of it

"There are many nights I sleep alone, I don't have to, but I do." - Elon Musk ... he just proved money doesn't buy happiness right there... at least he is honest, I respect that a lot.

I chose loneliness. It brings peace and with peace brings time and with time brings clarity and true thought. I am in a constant state of meditation when i am not burdened with the drama, emotions and agendas of others. Ive met too many bad people in my life. I hold the good ones close and they are few.

'My mind is a storm.' - I believe it. Thank you for that Mr. Fridman, well done.

I saw so much pain in this man today, he’s lonely, depressed, overworked, but his answers he tried to brush it off and tried to keep talking about technology 😢 being rich doesn’t mean happiness

The point where you say "how're doing?" Very simple yet powerful. People nowadays don't ask others how they're doing, they tell you how they're doing.

"I swear to you gentlemen, to be overly conscious is an illness; a real, thorough-going illness." -Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from the Underground

This clip should be the the one that makes Lex a LEGEND in this space. What perfect questions, timing, empathy and ability to play out the conversation. Bravo.

[Lawmakan]

Elon's words and the manner in which he expresses them, combined with the years I've spent on this planet, lead me to believe that, regardless of one's actions or possessions, if a storm brews in the mind, it becomes a lifelong challenge. The most effective way to perceive life positively, embracing its challenges and inner reflections, is to cultivate gratitude for what we possess. It involves slowing life down to a pace where it can be truly savored, not merely tasted. This, I believe, is the ultimate remedy for the problems we currently encounter and those that may arise in the future

[latifa]

what a difference between Elon talking with Lex and with Joe...completely different energy!!

[arresthillary]

even with people around, there is a certain amount of loneliness being a genius. you cant connect to people in an intellectually stimulating way
your mind gets bored and wanders even while in the presence of those people. you aren't really "present"
forgiving is easy, forgetting is hard

[saurinpatel]

Deep down we are all same doesn’t matter if you are billionaire or broke

[worldobserver]

This was sad, watching Elon's face. Hang in there, man.

[aljanet]

I kind of felt sorry for him. He looked very tired/worn out. I hope at some point he will slow down and enjoy what he has accomplished.

[LisaGuerrero-fypm]

There is no such thing as a quiet mind. Not even in silence. I absolutely love him not only is he a futurist he is a realist 💯.... love him ...

[sharpsbattle]

I like Elons ability to be thoughtful and honest publicly. Jordan Peterson is like that as well. Very few are.
