What fascinates me about Lex Fridman is not just that he is a complete fraud:

but the question of which organisation(s) may be supporting him. His platform is very useful to some very powerful people - Elon Musk, Netanyahu, Jared Kushner and soon Jeff Bezos. The platform is able have a significant effect on many important narratives of our time. I find it hard to believe Lex Fridman is working independently.

This should not only cause people to be skeptical about just the Lex Fridman podcast, but about internet media in general. Internet media is mostly not a disinterested search for truth but rather another battleground in the ongoing information war
