Show Notes
In this third episode of MD MEETS, Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner sits down with Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi for a sweeping conversation that moves from the future of transportation to the forces that shape human destiny.
Khosrowshahi reflects on a world in motion - where cars drive themselves, cities breathe easier, and mobility becomes a shared experience rather than a private luxury. He speaks about Uber’s bold bet on electric and autonomous vehicles, air taxis, and delivery drones, painting a vision of cities where movement is frictionless and freedom is redefined.
But the discussion turns deeply personal when Khosrowshahi recounts his journey from Tehran to America after the Iranian Revolution - an immigrant’s story of loss, gratitude, and second chances. He shares his conflicted emotions about his homeland, the lessons of humility from his father, and how those values shaped his leadership through controversy and change.
From artificial intelligence to immigration, from the loneliness of power to the humility of listening, this conversation explores what it means to move - not just through space, but through life itself.

In this episode of MD MEETS, Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner sits down with Palantir CEO Alex Karp for a wide-ranging conversation about artificial intelligence, geopolitics, and the future of the West.
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK and one of the most polarizing figures in British politics, joins Mathias Döpfner for a wide-ranging and explosive conversation. Farage speaks about his close relationship with Donald Trump, the future of the transatlantic alliance, and why he believes the West must stand firm against Russia, China, and Iran. He defends Trump’s leadership style, discusses assassination attempts, and explains why he sees the former U.S. president as a model of political resilience. At the center of the debate: migration. Farage outlines his controversial plan to deport hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants, warns of rising Islamism and antisemitism in the UK, and argues that mass migration is reshaping British society. He also explains why Brexit has not yet delivered economically - and what radical changes he would implement on energy, deregulation, and growth. The conversation also covers the collapse of traditional parties, the rise of populism across Europe, comparisons to Germany and the AfD, and Farage’s own ambition to become Prime Minister. Is Britain heading for a political earthquake? And can Farage really turn disruption into power?
