do you even got [Music] elon musk's personal views on god and religion are as astounding as they are controversial actor reign asked the outspoken billionaire whether he had a spiritual life when he interviewed him in his response musk ended up addressing the big question of whether god exists check it out do you have a spiritual life well it sort of depends on what spiritual means and there's certainly things that we don't understand about the universe but uh you know i'm i'm less convinced that there's say um some some super consciousness watching over our every movement
and kind of evaluating it against some criteria and deciding whether we're going to go to one place or another when we die that's unlikely right rain continued to interview musk on what he worships from elon musk's response it was clear that he was an agnostic but not an atheist as most people would think as an agnostic musk neither believes nor disbelieves in god since the existence of god cannot be proved the physics guru only believes in facts and science listen to musk's response in matters of worship what do you worship well i don't really worship
anything but i do devote myself to the advancement of humanity using technology and it does beg the question if there is some super consciousness of consciousness where did the superconsciousness come from so i think the most likely explanation is that uh complexity evolved from simplicity you know that the simple elements over time combine to become more complex and arrive to what we are the tech genius made it clear in the interview that science and religion cannot co-exist the former economic student from university of pennsylvania was probably borrowing from karl marx a german economist who said
that religion is the opium of the masses the deeply religious reign was shocked to learn that musk doesn't pray have a look can science and religion coexist hold on do you pray i don't i didn't even pray when i when i almost died of valeria wow that's really not praying right so you put your money where your bug spray was yeah you're blowing my mind you deal with so much stuff i mean you deal with space travel and energy and the source of consciousness and you're thinking about all of these giant lifespan questions what blows
your mind what gives you all well i think that i mean the nature of the universe gives me more and just the huge expanse of the universe and how far away things are and how big they are the fact that there are things like supermassive black holes that are equal to a billion suns what about dark matter doesn't that freak you out too uh yeah and dark matter um is also i mean a dark matter dog energy are are kind of interesting cause i'm i mean i'm not sure what those actually are you know people
don't know what those actually are and it's particularly dark energy in fact you know that may be an argument for this being a simulation because in a simulation you could just make things be however you want the the lowest number will have to be consistent don't be deceived into believing that musk is ignorant about religion as a child the boy elon musk attended an anglican sunday school and learned at a jewish preschool he probably knows more about the bible and christianity than most folks as seen in the following interview follow through how many people have
actually read the bible fewer than probably say they have but oh yeah i mean do you have a reason i mean at one point you know when i was a kid i was like i had this existential crisis and i was trying to figure out what the meaning of life and i was like oh it all means nothing it's all and i and i you know read like a whole bunch of religious books including the bible and i'm like there's a bunch of things in there they didn't teach you in sunday school uh some gamora
dark um yikes you know god sure changes his mind from the old testament in the new testament i'm like whoa that's pretty vengeful in the old testament i remember we could have a chapter past revelations but like is there a happy ending here like uh um revelations part 2 of the happy ending in the same interview musk was challenged as to whether he would accept jesus as his personal savior after evading the question for some time musk responded by saying that he would not mind being saved if jesus has the powers to save it would
be quite a spectacle seeing musk being baptized we're wondering if you could do us a quick solid and accept jesus as your lord and savior but hey if um you know if if jesus is saving people i mean i i wouldn't stand in his way you know like they'll be sure i'll be safe why not sweet we did it in the interview musk revealed that he accepted some of jesus's teachings on love and forgiveness however the genius was quick to criticize how jesus chose wine over water in a wedding the interviewers were amazed at elon's
criticism on various biblical accounts have a look i mean let's just say like i agree with the principles that jesus advocated you know there are some some there's great wisdom in what in in the teaching teachings of of jesus uh and i agree with those teachers and things like tone the other cheek are very important because as opposed to an eye for an eye an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind so forgiveness you know is important and treating people as you would wish to be treated love that neighbor as they sell very important and
like jesus was obviously very pro-alcohol you know because one of his miracles was turning water into wine yeah that was like they were having a party they ran out of wine and they're like let's keep this better going good stuff who can solve this problem we're at a white club freaking stores closed and jesus is like i got you okay water now i like party on so you know accurate without all eyes literally it is interesting how the spacex ceo understands rocket science but does not understand the origin of life the genius explained to dr
crystal dilworth of the efforts that he has made to help understand the existential crisis during the late night chat at canadian consul's residence in los angeles here's what elon had to say i had this like existential crisis when i was a kid and and try to figure out what's it all about and none of the books i read seemed to actually have a good answer you know so i said i read all the religious texts and i read a bunch of philosophy books and it all quite depressing actually when i read the hitchhiker's guide to
the galaxy i thought this was a pretty good one you know just to sort of try to gain greater enlightenment over time that seems like a good goal if you don't really know what the meaning of the of life is um but or even really what the right questions are to ask but if we can improve our outstanding universe then eventually we can figure out what the right question to ask is you know just not meaning life it's something you know it really doesn't matter whether elon musk is a jew christian muslim or irreligious the
thing that matters is that elon musk is a good human who is focused on saving humans by making us a multi-planetary species elon cares so much for humanity that he would want them to continue living on mars in case the earth is destroyed you may not agree with musk on religion but you must admire his selflessness for humanity do you think elon musk is right in his spiritual views kindly share your answer in the comments section below thank you guys for watching if you want to see more interesting videos on elon musk click on the
