Discover! >> Elon Musk Admits His Long-Held Views About God Have Changed, Touches On Aliens & His Transgender Daughter

Elon Musk, a former self-described atheist, has revealed more about his apparent spiritual awakening in recent years, saying he has come to believe God exists.

The SpaceX and Tesla chief executive, who had previously said he didn’t believe in anything, declared on Tuesday that he looked up to the maker of the universe and specified that ‘God is the Creator.’

‘I believe this universe came from something. People have different labels [for God],’ Musk explained while appearing on a podcast hosted by the wife of Stephen Miller.

It’s the latest comments from the billionaire tech entrepreneur that have revealed a major shift in the former agnostic Musk’s beliefs.

Since 2022, the 54-year-old has openly spoken multiple times about a growing respect for core Christian values, and has even admitted he was a ‘fool for not appreciating its profound wisdom.’ Last year, he went so far as to call himself a ‘cultural Christian,’ praising Jesus’ teachings of love, kindness, and forgiveness for their wisdom and societal value.

During Tuesday’s episode of The Katie Miller Podcast, however, Musk added that our creator could be simply running a massive computer simulation, with our lives being nothing more than ‘somebody’s video game.’ He also speculated that our world could be an ‘alien Netflix series,’ saying that the purpose of life would therefore be to keep humanity excited to increase our ‘ratings’ and prevent our creator from turning the computer off.

Musk’s evolution on religion has come at the same time as his political shift to the right, which has seen him support Trump’s reelection campaign, form the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and openly speak out against so-called ‘woke’ culture. Musk has posted repeatedly on X that the ‘woke mind virus’ had essentially become its own religion for those on the political left and was in conflict with Christianity.

‘Woke is a religion that filled the void that Christianity left,’ he wrote on August 25.

‘There seems to be an innate need for religion. Many atheists simply adopt another belief system (e.g., wokeness) that is essentially a religion,’ the current owner of X previously said in September 2023. Musk has also publicly blamed ‘woke’ culture for influencing his estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson (formerly Xavier Alexander Musk), to transition.

During the wide-ranging chat, Musk also revealed his regrets over leading DOGE, colonizing Mars, time travel, and the existence of alien life.

‘I don’t know of any aliens. People have asked me if there’s there are aliens. I have seen no evidence of aliens,’ Musk said.

The billionaire added that he has asked his senior leaders at SpaceX if the company has seen any evidence of extraterrestrials during their rocket launches, but nothing has been revealed.

As for seeing UFOs, Musk noted that this was actually a separate conversation from finding alien life, claiming that what people are typically seeing in the sky are military prototypes being tested.

UFOs could be like some new weapons program or whatever. That’s some hypersonic missile or something like that. That would be technically a UFO, but it’s just basically some weapons prototype. That’s not like aliens.’
