Lex: The following is a conversation with Elon Musk, DJ saw Matthew McDougall, Bliss Chapman, and Nolan Arbaugh about NERLYNQ and the future of humanity. Elon, DJ Matthew, and Bliss are, of course, part of the amazing NEROLINK team. And Nolan is the 1st human to have a Neuralink device implanted in his brain. I speak with each of them individually, so use time stamps to jump around or as I recommend go hardcore and listen to the whole thing. This is the longest podcast I've ever done.
It's a fascinating, super technical, and wide ranging conversation, and I loved every minute of it. And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the best way to support this podcast. We got cloak for privacy, masterclass for learning, Notion for taking notes, Element for hydration, Motific for generative AI deployment, and BetterHelp for mental health.
Choose wisely, my friends. Also, if you want to maybe submit feedback or submit questions that I can answer in the podcast or just get in touch with me, go to lexfreedman.com/contact. And now onto the full ad reads, I try to make these interesting. But if you do skip them, please still check out our sponsors. I enjoy their stuff.
Maybe you will too. This episode is brought to you by Cloaked, a platform that lets you generate new email address and a phone number every time you sign up for a new website, allowing your actual email and your actual phone number to remain secret from said website. It seems that increasingly, the right approach to the interwebs is trust no one. Of course, there's big companies that have an implied trust because you and them understand that if you give your data over to them and they abuse that privilege, that they would suffer as a company. Now I don't know if they fully understand that beca
It's just nice to not give over your contact data unless you need to. So Cloak solves that problem, makes it super easy. It's like, it's basically a password manager with extra privacy superpowers.

This episode is also brought to you by a masterclass, where you can watch over 200 classes from the best people in the world at their respective disciplines. Phil Ivy on poker, for example. Brilliant master class. And also reminds me of the other Phil, possibly the greatest of all time. And if you ask him, he will definitely say he's the greatest of all time, which is Phil Hellmuth.
We were supposed to do a podcast many, many times, but I'm just not sure I can handle the level of greatness that is Phil Hellmuth. No. I love him. We'll probably have a podcast at some point in the future. I'm not sure he has a master class, but, he, his essence, his way of being, his infinite wisdom, and the infinite number of championships that he has won, is in itself, a master class.
So but, you know, if you wanna settle for another mere mortal that, some people consider to be the greatest poker player of all time is Phil Ivey. And there he has an incredible masterclass on there.

This episode is also brought to you by Notion, a note taking and team collaboration tool that I've used for a long time now.
I've used it primarily for note taking, because, you know, you need a big team for team collaboration. But the people who I know who have used it for the team collaboration capabilities have really
