In a unexpected turn of events, Elon Musk, the visionary co-founder and CEO of Tesla, shared his thoughts on Jesus Christ and religion during an interview with the satire website, The Babylon Bee. This insightful exchange provided a rare glimpse into Musk’s personal views on faith and spirituality.
The discussion, led by the Bee’s CEO Seth Dillon, Editor-in-Chief Kyle Mann, and Creative Director Ethan Nicolle, covered a wide range of topics, including politics and wealth. However, the conversation took a serious turn towards the subject of salvation and faith.
When Nicolle asked Musk if he would accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior, the tech mogul paused before responding. Musk expressed his agreement with the teachings of Jesus, highlighting the importance of principles such as “turn the other cheek,” forgiveness, and loving one’s neighbor. With a touch of humor, Musk added, “But hey, if Jesus is saving people, I mean, I won’t stand in His way. Sure, I’ll be saved. Why not?”
Musk also mentioned that he was baptized as a child, but admitted that he still has questions about faith and biblical stories. This revelation suggests that despite his often-rational and scientific approach to the world, Musk has a lingering curiosity and openness when it comes to matters of spirituality.
In a heartfelt speech after the successful splashdown of the Dragon Capsule in 2020, Musk revealed that he had prayed for the mission, despite not being very religious. He emphasized the universal significance of the mission and expressed hope that it would bring joy during challenging times.
This unexpected exchange with The Babylon Bee has shed new light on Musk’s personal views on faith and spirituality. While the tech titan is known for his innovative and forward-thinking approach to technology and business, this interview has revealed a more introspective and spiritually-inclined side to the visionary leader.

Elon Musk’s candid discussion with The Babylon Bee has revealed a surprising and thought-provoking side to the visionary entrepreneur. While Musk is widely known for his groundbreaking work in the fields of electric vehicles, space exploration, and renewable energy, this interview has shown that he is also a seeker of spiritual understanding, willing to engage with the timeless questions of faith and salvation.
