The CEO and co-founder of Tesla, Elon Musk, talked about his beliefs about religion and Jesus Christ in an interview with the satirical website The Babylon Bee. CEO of the Bee Seth Dillon, Chief Editor Kyle Mann, and Creative Director Ethan Nicolle led the discussion. The topics of conversation included politics and wealth. But then there was a serious discussion about religion and salvation.
The tone of the interview changed when Musk made a joke about it being a Sunday and said that they would all burn in hell for missing church. Nicolle continued by saying that Musk might embrace Jesus as his Lord and Savior by saying a little prayer.
Musk hesitated before responding, then declared that he agreed with Jesus’ teachings. He underlined the importance of moral laws such as “turn the other cheek,” “forgive others,” and “love your neighbor.” “But hey, if Jesus is helping people, then I mean, I won’t get in the way of Him,” joked Musk. Yes, they will spare me. Why not?
The hosts of Babylon Bee cheered his response and affirmed, “I think he just said yes,” with Nicolle. Musk admitted that he was baptized as a young child and that he still has misgivings about faith and biblical stories.
Musk, who is not very religious, said in a heartfelt 2020 speech that he had prayed for the mission after the Dragon capsule’s successful splashdown. He emphasized the mission’s importance on a worldwide scale and expressed the hope that it would bring enjoyment to those facing hardship.
In this insightful conversation, Musk offered The Babylon Bee a unique glimpse into his views on spirituality and faith.
