Lex Fridman is a research scientist at MIT. <https://web.mit.edu/directory/?id=lexfridman&d=mit.edu>
I checked the guy's Wikipedia page and the opening paragraph says he's linked to MIT like five times, lmao.
Very normal stuff.
The question is why? He is mostly focused on his podcast and lives in Texas.
I doubt there are any notable research contributions from him. His actual PhD is from Drexel - Not MIT.
