Ethics Over Devotion
Musk has consistently emphasized the ethical principles of Jesus rather than organized religious practice. In a 2024 interview, he explained:
“While I’m not a particularly religious person, I do believe the teachings of Jesus are good and wise. I’m a big believer in principles like loving thy neighbor and turning the other cheek.”
He has described his belief in a proportionate, evidence-based approach to the universe, saying, “I’m open to believing in things proportionate to the information that I receive,” blending philosophical curiosity with a scientific lens.
