elon musk’s personal views on god and
religion are as astounding as they are
controversial
actor reign asked the outspoken
billionaire whether he had a spiritual
life when he interviewed him
in his response musk ended up addressing
the big question of whether god exists
check it out
do you have a spiritual life
well it sort of depends on what
spiritual means and there’s certainly
things that we don’t understand about
the universe
but uh
you know i’m i’m less convinced that
there’s say um some some super
consciousness watching over our every
movement and kind of evaluating it
against some criteria and deciding
whether we’re going to go to one place
or another when we die that’s unlikely
right rain continued to interview musk
on what he worships from elon musk’s
response it was clear that he was an
agnostic but not an atheist as most
people would think
as an agnostic musk neither believes nor
disbelieves in god since the existence
of god cannot be proved the physics guru
only believes in facts and science
listen to musk’s response in matters of
worship what do you worship
well i don’t really worship anything but
i do devote myself to the advancement of
humanity using technology and it does
beg the question if there is some super
consciousness of consciousness where did
the superconsciousness come from so i
think the most likely explanation is
that uh complexity evolved from
simplicity you know that the simple
elements over time combine to become
more complex and arrive to what we are
the tech genius made it clear in the
interview that science and religion
cannot co-exist
the former economic student from
university of pennsylvania was probably
borrowing from karl marx a german
economist who said that religion is the
opium of the masses
the deeply religious reign was shocked
to learn that musk doesn’t pray have a
look can science and religion coexist
hold on
do you pray
i don’t i didn’t even pray when i when i
almost died of valeria
wow that’s really not praying right so
you put your money where your
bug spray was
yeah
you’re blowing my mind
you deal with so much stuff i mean you
deal with space travel and energy and
the source of consciousness and you’re
thinking about all of these giant
lifespan questions
what blows your mind what gives you all
well i think that i mean the
nature of the universe
gives me more and just the
huge expanse of the universe and
how far away things are and how big they
are the fact that there are things like
supermassive black holes that are equal
to a billion
suns
what about dark matter doesn’t that
freak you out too uh yeah and dark
matter um is also i mean a dark matter
dog energy are are kind of interesting
cause i’m i mean i’m not sure
what those actually are you know people
don’t know what those actually are and
it’s particularly dark energy in fact
you know that may be an argument for
this being a simulation because in a
simulation you could just make things be
however you want
the the lowest number will have to be
consistent don’t be deceived into
believing that musk is ignorant about
religion
as a child the boy elon musk attended an
anglican sunday school and learned at a
jewish preschool
he probably knows more about the bible
and christianity than most folks as seen
in the following interview follow
through
how many people have actually read the
bible
fewer than probably say they have but oh
yeah i mean do you have a reason i mean
at one point you know when i was a kid i
was like i had this existential crisis
and i was trying to figure out what the
meaning of life and i was like oh it all
means nothing it’s all and i and i you
know read like a whole bunch of
religious books including the bible and
i’m like there’s a bunch of things in
there they didn’t teach you in sunday
school
uh some gamora
dark
um yikes
you know god sure changes his mind
from the old testament in the new
testament i’m like whoa
that’s pretty vengeful in the old
testament
i remember we could have a chapter past
revelations
but like is there a happy ending here
like uh
um
revelations part of the happy ending
in the same interview musk was
challenged as to whether he would accept
jesus as his personal savior
after evading the question for some time
musk responded by saying that he would
not mind being saved if jesus has the
powers to save it would be quite a
spectacle seeing musk being baptized
we’re wondering if you could do us a
quick solid and accept jesus as your
lord and savior
but hey if um you know if if jesus is
saving people i mean i i wouldn’t stand
in his way you know like they’ll be sure
i’ll be safe why not
sweet we did it in the interview musk
revealed that he accepted some of
jesus’s teachings on love and
forgiveness
however the genius was quick to
criticize how jesus chose wine over
water in a wedding
the interviewers were amazed at elon’s
criticism on various biblical accounts
have a look
i mean let’s just say like i agree with
the principles that jesus advocated
you know there are some some there’s
great wisdom in what in in the teaching
teachings of of jesus uh and i agree
with those teachers
and things like tone the other cheek
are
very important because as opposed to an
eye for an eye
an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind
so
forgiveness
you know is important and
treating people as you would wish to be
treated
love that neighbor as they sell
very important
and like jesus was obviously very
pro-alcohol you know because one of his
miracles was turning water into wine
yeah that was like they were having a
party they ran out of wine
and they’re like let’s keep this better
going
good stuff
who can solve this problem we’re at a
white club freaking stores closed
and jesus is like i got you
okay water now
i like party on
so you know accurate
without all eyes literally
it is interesting how the spacex ceo
understands rocket science but does not
understand the origin of life the genius
explained to dr crystal dilworth of the
efforts that he has made to help
understand the existential crisis during
the late night chat at canadian consul’s
residence in los angeles
here’s what elon had to say i had this
like existential crisis when i was a kid
and and try to figure out what’s it all
about and
none of the books i read seemed to
actually have a good answer
you know so i said i read all the
religious texts and i read a bunch of
philosophy books and
it all quite depressing
actually when i read
the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy i
thought this was a pretty good one
you know just to sort of try to
gain greater enlightenment over time
that seems like a good goal if you don’t
really know what the meaning of the of
life is um but or even really what the
right questions are to ask but if we can
improve our outstanding universe then
eventually we can figure out what the
right question to ask
is you know
just not meaning life it’s something you
know
it really doesn’t matter whether elon
musk is a jew christian muslim or
irreligious
the thing that matters is that elon musk
is a good human who is focused on saving
humans by making us a multi-planetary
species
elon cares so much for humanity that he
would want them to continue living on
mars in case the earth is destroyed you
may not agree with musk on religion but
you must admire his selflessness for
humanity

spiritual views kindly share your answer
