Hey, it's Michael. This weekend, we're bringing you something a little different from our colleagues here at The New York Times. Today, an interview with Elon Musk, one of the most consequential, complicated, and controversial people of our time. Just a few days ago, Musk sat down with business columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin for an interview before a live audience. It's a remarkable conversation. Sorkin presses Musk on a recent public controversy. But he also explores Musk's ideas about a variety of topics, freedom of speech, technology, optimism, aliens, and screen time. It was all part of a series of live interviews put together by our colleagues at DealBook with significant leaders, including Vice President Kamala Harris and former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. If you want to hear them all, you can listen on our NYT audio app or search DealBook Summit wherever you get your podcasts. Now, here's Andrew Ross Sorkin in conversation with Elon Musk. My mind is often feels like a very wild storm. Did you storm a happy storm? No. This is Andrew Ross Sorkin with The New York Times and you're listening to the best interviews from our annual DealBook Summit event recorded live yesterday in New York City. Good evening, everybody. Thank you so much for being with us throughout the day. And I couldn't be more pleased to sit with Elon Musk as our final interview of this remarkable time we've all had together. He doesn't need much of an introduction, but I want to say a couple of things. He's the richest person in the world. He very well be the most consequential individual in the world right now.
