When Musk joked that they would all burn in hell for skipping church on a Sunday, the tone of the encounter abruptly changed. Nicolle went on to suggest that Musk may recite a short prayer to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior.

Musk said he agreed with Jesus’ teachings after pausing briefly before answering. Moral precepts like “love your neighbor,” “turn the other cheek,” and “forgive others” were emphasized by him. Musk jokingly said, “But hey, if Jesus is helping people, then I mean, I won’t get in His way.” They will, in fact, spare me. Why not?

The Babylon Bee hosts applauded his answer and agreed with Nicolle, saying, “I think he just said yes.” Musk acknowledged that despite having been baptized as a young child, he still has doubts about biblical tales and religion.

In an emotional 2020 speech, Musk—who is not very religious—stated that following the Dragon capsule’s successful splashdown, he had prayed for the mission. He highlighted the mission’s significance on a global level and conveyed the hope that it would provide joy to those going through difficult times.

Musk gave The Babylon Bee a rare look into his ideas on spirituality and faith during this enlightening discussion.
