• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has agreed to appear on Lex Fridman's podcast.

• Fridman is a computer scientist and academic who has attracted high-profile guests, including Trump.

• Elon Musk touted X's role in arranging the deal.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed on X to record an episode of Lex Fridman's podcast in Ukraine, much to Elon Musk's delight.

Fridman, who hosts the popular "Lex Fridman Podcast," said on X earlier this week that he would "love to do a 3 hour podcast" with Zelenskyy, adding that he would even travel to Kyiv to do it.

Zelenskyy responded on Saturday, writing: "Agreed. See you in Ukraine."

One X user was quick to point out the role the platform played in arranging the deal, saying: "The power of X on full display," to which Musk replied, "True."

"Where else can you just make a request and a leader of a country replies to you directly?" the user added.

Musk has long touted his social media platform as a means of bypassing legacy media outlets and allowing world and company leaders to "speak directly to the people."
