Many would expect that the Nelk Boys took this opportunity to question Musk about his stand on real-world issues and events, they sort of skimmed some important topics but these content creators did something else.
The Full Send podcast hosts went on to ask Musk about the most inconsequential of things like aliens, video games, and hypothetical World Wars, but they actually did great.

The next interesting topic that Musk had with the Nelk Boys is about strategy games. When asked by one podcast host to share his view on the OG strategy game chess, here is what the SpaceX owner said: "I was on the school's chess team, but I find chess a simple game.
