His older interviews were good. He often had a firm grasp of the subject and was genuinely curious. It also helps that they're long form.

I really liked his conversations with George Hotz, founder of an aftermarket lane assist product [0]. I would say that was peak Fridman. It was a great conversation covering many topics like UFOs, physics, cryptocurrency and programming.

In his recent interviews he seems in over his head. He can't articulate an appropriate response and often falls back to asking people "can you steelman criticisms about your product or what you're doing". His conversations with the Pfizer CEO and Mark Zuckerberg are prime examples of this. It doesn't lead to very constructive conversation.
