Kumail Nanjiani says that Elon Musk did not like the `Silicon Valley ” of HBO:` `it was like, all the parts that I am going to be much cooler than these festivals ”

Speaking about Mike Birbiglia’s podcast, Nanjiani was invited to have met the technological billionaires that his program would be Lampoon, and Nanjiani said yes, he had met Musk and Méta-PDG Mark Zuckerberg, among others. But when Birbiglia asked if Musk loved the show or gave comments, Nanjiani replied: “He didn’t like the show.

“It was like, all the parts I go are much cooler than these holidays. I said to myself, yeah guy, you are one of the richest people in the world. We are, like, losers in the series,” he said. “Of course, your parties are better than my parties.”

Created by Mike Judge Beavis and Butthead And King of the hill Fame, HBO Silicon Valley ran for 53 episodes covering six seasons. The series followed Richard Hendricks, a brilliant but clumsy programmer who builds a startup with his friends called Piper. Although its precision has often been debated, the program satiated major technologies and corporate culture, and criticisms congratulated its sharp and sharp writing which has laughed at the “brogrammer culture” and eccentric billionaires. Silicon Valley received five consecutive nominations to the EMMY for the exceptional comedy series.

In Musk’s point, the festivals of the real Silicon Valley are probably “cooler” than those of the HBO show, but, as Big Tech itself, many have reported their tendency to push the limits. Emily Chang’s book in 2018, BrutopiaDescribed secret rallies featuring drug use and open sexual behavior among the technological elites. Chang said that these events, which have attended venture capital and founders have often involved drugs such as MDMA and “puddles” that encouraged intimacy, women signaling stigma and exclusion depending on whether they were participating or abstained.

Chang’s book said that Musk attended at least one of these parties in 2017, held at the house of investor Steve Jurvetson, but Musk has since vigorously challenged the characterization of the event as a “sex festival”. Musk said he thought that the rally was a costume party, had not seen any sign of inappropriate behavior and left early. He provided the following declaration to Cable In 2018: “Nerds on a sofa are not a” puddle of hugs “. I was hunted overnight by entrepreneurs funded by DFJ, so I went to sleep around 1 a.m.

You can broadcast the six seasons of Silicon Valley On HBO Max.
