you will agree with me that elon musk is
a man that is doing all for the benefit
of humanity however people are now
questioning his take on spiritual
matters
so according to elon does god exist join
me today in this video as we explore
elon's view on the existence of god
the masses would think that elon musk is
completely ignorant about religion but
it will surprise you to learn that he
was brought up as a christian
as a little boy he attended an anglican
sunday school and studied in a jewish
preschool he may know a lot more about
the bible and christianity than most
folks
he believed in god as a child and read
the bible and many religious books that
were not covered in sunday school in an
interview he said that he read the bible
as a child his knowledge of the bible
was evident as he easily remembered the
books of the bible like genesis and
revelation and could recount stories
like sodom and gomorrah it will also
intrigue you that elon musk was baptized
however when he started to struggle with
the meaning of life as a boy he started
looking for answers in many religious
books of which he reported to be blurry
leaving him with more doubts than
answers
he expressed his doubts concerning the
bible as he recounted that god changed
his mind from the old testament to the
new testament
saying that in the old testament he was
pretty vengeful like the story of sodom
and gomorrah but in the new testament he
was loving and the last chapters of
revelations had a happy ending
in an interview with rayne wilson he
said that children just sing along
without understanding the depth of the
word sung
in an interview with actor rayne wilson
elon musk opened up to answer life's
most important question on god's
existence
elam was asked whether he had a
spiritual life to which he answered that
that would depend on the meaning of
spiritual
after being probed further he confessed
that he is less convinced that there is
a super consciousness watching humans
and analyzing them against a certain
criteria
which will decide where they will go
after they die
he further insinuated that he did not
entirely believe that there's no god but
only believed in facts and science
because the existence of god cannot be
proven
however he does think that it's probable
that we live in a simulation which is
controlled by aliens in some other
spectrum his view is quite astounding as
concerns can arise that the aliens are
our god
this is something quite similar to
religion but with no special connections
with religion a sort of deism his views
revealed that he is also agnostic in a
way claiming to believe in the existence
of a spectrum while not entirely
claiming that god does not exist
so he is not an atheist as many would
think
deeply religious reign was shocked to
learn that musk does not pray
he asked him whether he prayed to which
he plainly said that he did not he added
that even when he almost died of malaria
in 2000 while on a vacation in south
africa he did not pray
when he was asked about who he
worshipped musk quickly answered that he
didn't worship anything
instead he devotes himself to the
advancement of humanity using technology
the answer did beg the question whether
there is some super consciousness or
consciousness came from to which he
replied that the most likely explanation
is that complexity evolved from
simplicity
that the simple elements combined over
time to make complex elements and
arrived at what we are
he made it clear in the interview that
science and religion cannot coexist
because one does not support the
evidence of the other
according to the interview what oz elon
is the nature of the universe its huge
expanse and how far away things are and
how big they are to quote exact words
in another recent interview the
outspoken billionaire stated that he had
unanswered doubts about faith and jesus
however he prayed about the dragon
capsule mission after it had
successfully splashed in the gulf of
mexico to quote him i am not very
religious but i prayed for this
he added about prayer i think this is
something that the whole world can take
some pleasure in and can really look at
this achievement of humanity
these are difficult times when there's
not much that good news
i think this is one of those things that
is universally good no matter where you
are on planet earth this is a good thing
and i hope it brightens your day
in a more recent interview musk was in a
show with the babylon bees a christian
organization ministry that hosts
interviews for entertainment three
editors attended the show who were the
ceo seth pilon the editor in chief kyle
mann and the creative director ethan
nicole
the interview started with discussions
on wokeness politics and wealth but soon
turned into a serious discussion about
jesus when musk made a joke telling the
bee's editors about the interview being
on sunday
that they would go to hell because they
did not attend church
to which nicole turned to elon and asked
if he could accept jesus as his personal
lord and savior for a moment musk looked
stunned and answered that he agreed with
the principles that jesus advocated and
to quote him
there's some great wisdom in the
teachings of jesus and that i agree with
them he pointed to the teachings of
jesus like turn your cheek saying that
it was much better than the eye for an
eye teaching
because everyone would lose their sight
while maintaining a stayed mood he
stated that loving other people and
treating them as you would want to be
treated and loving your neighbor as
yourself is very fundamental to life and
harmonious existence
he further pointed out that forgiveness
is very essential and because of that
life is much better
on the other hand he expressed his
doubts on jesus's teachings saying that
at some point jesus preferred wine over
water he argued that it would be more
logical if jesus had not given alcohol
in the wedding party encouraging their
drunkenness
so far on the teachings of jesus that is
the only doubt he expressed despite his
doubts the world's richest man admitted
that if jesus was saving people then he
would like to be saved and he wouldn't
stand in his way
the babylon biho celebrated musk's
response to which nicole asserted i
think he just said yes
questions have also risen about musk's
origin with many believing that he is
jewish
elon musk's first name is of hebrew
origin which can be simply translated as
an oak tree it was a name accorded to
one of the israelite judges in the bible
times
to add to the jewish name he visited
israel on three counts
in a now deleted instagram post elon
visited masada in israel in 2018 on a
spring break trip with his children
masada is an ancient fortification on
top of a mountain in southern israel and
is one of the country's most popular
tourist destinations masada was
surrounded by roman troops from 73 to 74
ce at the end of the first jewish roman
war
with the siege ending in the mass
suicide of 960 jews who were hiding
there
the spacex entrepreneur also met with
then israel's prime minister benjamin
netanyahu
netanyahu mentioned that elon referred
to israel as a technological power and
that he appreciated the work they were
doing there he further added that musk
referred to the negev desert as the
energy future of the state of israel
stating that israel is capable of
meeting all the nation's energy needs
he added you could spread solar systems
here that would give you more energy
than you need or could need clean energy
netanyahu said citing elon musk if you
only want it musk had previously visited
israel in 2016 where he visited the
jerusalem offices of automotive chip
maker mobileai
visit was kept a secret however musk's
profile on forbes records that while his
name is of hebrew origin he is of
pennsylvania dutch and british origin
the son of south african engineer
emerald minor father and model dietitian
canadian mother musk attracted an ire of
jews when he likened justin trudeau to
adolf hitler and once appeared to imply
that the jews control the media a claim
he denied making
though he comes from a country with the
largest jewish population in africa he
is not jewish it is difficult to
conclude if elon musk believes in god
but we can safely say that he is an
agnostic as his religious beliefs
revolve around that anyways guys if you
