On a previous episode of the Lex Fridman Podcast, Jeff Bezos offered insights into his long-term project, the creation of a 10,000-year clock. This remarkable timepiece, currently being built inside a mountain in West Texas, has received a $42 million investment from Bezos.

Fridman inquires about the 10,000-Year Clock, and Bezos responds by describing it as a monumental physical clock, standing at an impressive 500 feet tall. He adds that the Clock is being built inside a mountain chamber in West Texas, with the chamber itself reaching 500 feet in height but only 12 feet in diameter.
