Zerodha cofounder Nikhil Kamath has set social media buzzing after posting a short teaser that appears to show him in conversation with Elon Musk on his podcast “WTF is with Nikhil Kamath.” The clip, shot in a studio‑style setting, shows Kamath seated across from a Musk look‑alike as if in the middle of a long‑form interview. Because Kamath shared no context and simply asked followers to caption the video, viewers have been left guessing whether this is an actual episode preview or a high‑quality AI experiment.
On Instagram, X, and LinkedIn, reactions have swung between excitement and disbelief. Many users insist the video is AI‑generated, flooding the comments with lines like “AI hai bhai AI” and pointing to facial cues and lighting they believe look synthetic.
Others are convinced Kamath has actually pulled off the podcast coup of the year, calling it “the biggest guest reveal” and urging him to drop the full episode. Some of the most popular comments compare the awkward, slightly formal body language in the clip to an “arranged marriage first meeting,” while another quips that now everyone finally understands why the show is called “WTF.”

The episode—real or AI—fits neatly into Kamath’s broader playbook of blending finance, tech, and pop culture on his show. It also highlights how deepfake‑style content and AI‑generated media are blurring the lines between marketing, satire, and reality. Until Kamath confirms whether Musk truly sat down for the podcast, the teaser remains exactly what it was designed to be: a viral cliffhanger that keeps people talking, sharing, and speculating across platforms.
