Tesla Co-founder and CEO Elon Musk shared his thoughts on Jesus Christ and religion during an interview with the satire website, The Babylon Bee. The discussion, led by the Bee’s CEO Seth Dillon, Editor-in-Chief Kyle Mann, and Creative Director Ethan Nicolle, covered various topics, including politics and wealth. However, the conversation took a serious turn towards salvation and faith.

The interview shifted gears when Musk joked about the interview taking place on a Sunday, suggesting they were all going to hell for not being in church. Nicolle then asked Musk if he would accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior, suggesting it would only take a quick prayer.

Musk paused before responding, expressing his agreement with the teachings of Jesus. He highlighted the importance of principles such as “turn the other cheek,” forgiveness, and loving one’s neighbor. Musk humorously added, “But hey, if Jesus is saving people, I mean, I won’t stand in His way. Sure, I’ll be saved. Why not?”

The Babylon Bee hosts celebrated his response, with Nicolle affirming, “I think he just said yes.” Musk also mentioned he was baptized as a child and admitted he still has questions about faith and biblical stories.

In a heartfelt 2020 speech after the successful splashdown of the Dragon Capsule, Musk revealed he had prayed for the mission, despite not being very religious. He emphasized the mission’s universal significance and expressed hope that it would bring joy during challenging times.

This insightful exchange with The Babylon Bee provided a rare glimpse into Musk’s thoughts on faith and spirituality.
