Sometime in January 2022, Tesla Co-founder and CEO Elon Musk, shared his thoughts about Jesus Christ and religion during an interview with Christian ministry website, Babylon Bee.

Throughout the interview, the SpaceX entrepreneur had answered questions about multiple topics with the Christian website’s CEO Seth Dillon, Editor-in-Chief Kyle Mann, and Creative Director Ethan Nicolle.
Musk responded, “I agree with the principles that Jesus advocated. There’s some great wisdom in the teachings of Jesus, and I agree with those teachings.”

He continued, “Things like ‘turn the other cheek’ are very important, as opposed to ‘an eye for an eye’. An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind,” Musk said. “Forgiveness is important and treating people as you would wish to be treated. ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself.’”
“But hey, if Jesus is saving people, I mean, I won’t stand in His way,” Musk added. “Sure, I’ll be saved. Why not?”
The Babylon Bee hosts celebrated Musk’s response. “I think he just said yes,” Nicolle asserted.
When asked if he wanted to be baptized, Musk said that he was as a child. He also indicated he still has plenty of questions about God, faith, and biblical accounts of Jesus.
