Terence Tao one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, who normally never does podcasts, recently did a podcast on Lex Fridman's Podcast.

I know all about that. Trust me, I hate the guy. His podcast with Zelensky was pathetic. So were his remarks in the podcast episode next to that one.
Having said that: I dont have idols, but if I had, Terence Tao would be one of them. I will listen to the podcast regardless of Lex.

This seems rather alarmist, especially the youtube part. I've watched a few full length episodes and don't have any of that shit in my recommended videos.

Disappointing that he would cozy up to the right wing like this. There are many other places where he could spread the same ideas without implicitly endorsing fascist ideologues.

Do your think he knows? I think folks like him just get podcast invites and do minimal research on the host.
