Earlier this month, conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University. His final interview provided a glimpse into his thoughts on entrepreneurship, Gen Z, and Elon Musk.
On Saturday, investor Andrew K Smith shared Kirk’s interview on X, where Kirk discussed his views on entrepreneurship, building businesses, and his vision for the future.
He stressed the importance of certain practices for sustainable entrepreneurship, such as honoring the Sabbath and avoiding burnout.
Kirk expressed his admiration for Musk, describing him as a “phenomenal entrepreneur” and an “unbelievable founder”. He commended Musk’s time management skills and his ability to manage his own schedule without an executive assistant.
When asked about his greatest reward as an entrepreneur, Kirk emphasized the journey and the memories created, rather than financial success. He also shared his thoughts on leading Gen-Zs and the importance of clear, articulated values within a company.
Kirk was optimistic about the future of the American economy, pointing to potential growth in artificial intelligence and strong consumer spending. However, he also cautioned about a potential market correction due to overvalued publicly traded securities.

Responding on the interview shared by Andrew Musk said on X, “I know you are resting in peace, Charlie. Still can't believe this happened. Your memory lives strong.”
Kirk was fatally shot during an event at UVU by a 22-year-old named Tyler Robinson. The incident led to a manhunt for Robinson and elicited reactions from various high-profile individuals, including US President Donald Trump.
Kirk’s final interview serves as a testament to his views on entrepreneurship and his vision for the future. His admiration for Elon Musk and his emphasis on the importance of clear company values provide insight into his perspective on successful business practices.
His warning about a potential market correction also reflects his understanding of the current economic climate and the potential risks it poses.
