Elon Musk has publicly discussed a significant shift in his personal beliefs. The tech billionaire revealed he is no longer an atheist. He stated that he now believes “God exists” after years of nonbelief. Musk made these comments on a recent podcast interview with host Katie Miller.
“I believe this universe came from something,” Musk said during the conversation. “God is the Creator.” He did not specify which organised religion he follows. However, he clearly confirmed his departure from atheism. Last year, he described himself as a “cultural Christian.”
In an August post on X, Musk expressed a critical view of modern ideologies. He wrote, “Woke is a religion that filled the void that Christianity left.” This statement aligns with his recent political leanings and public criticism of what he terms the “woke mind virus.”

The main purpose, he suggested, is to keep humanity engaged and excited. “Ratings appear quite good,” he remarked, applying a Darwinian lens to simulation theory.
This philosophical shift accompanies his move toward right-wing politics. He has publicly supported United States President Donald Trump. The hour-long podcast episode has already garnered over 350,000 views. It covered diverse topics beyond religion, including space colonisation and aliens.
