Kamath has also announced an exclusive pre-screening of the episode for paid members of the WTF Off Grid community in Bengaluru. The screening will take place on Church Street, with attendees reportedly paying around ₹499-₹500 for access.

Online reaction
Teaser sparks memes, AI speculation
The teaser sparked a flurry of memes and led many to speculate whether the footage was generated using artificial intelligence (AI). The speculation intensified when Grok, Musk-owned X's in-house AI chatbot, claimed that the clip appeared to use AI face-morphing between Kamath and Musk. Despite this, Kamath's podcasts have quickly become high-profile talk shows with guests like PM Narendra Modi, Bill Gates, Vinod Khosla.
