Overview

• On the Working It Out podcast released this week, Nanjiani said Elon Musk told him he "didn't like the show" and that the parties he attends are "much cooler."
• Nanjiani recounted replying that Musk is one of the richest people in the world and that the show’s characters are underdogs, so their parties would not compare.
• He also described a brief backstage exchange with Mark Zuckerberg after a science awards presentation, quoting the Meta CEO as saying, "What the fuck was that?"
• Coverage notes these are Nanjiani’s recollections and that neither Musk nor Zuckerberg has corroborated his account.
• Silicon Valley, the HBO satire created by Mike Judge, ran from 2014 to 2019 and has long been discussed alongside real-world reporting on tech culture, including accounts Musk previously disputed.
