Elon Musk s Walk With Jesus – WSJ

Elon Musk is publicly offering his own interpretation of Jesus teachings with an Old Testament twist. 

Christianity has become toothless, the billionaire posted recently on his X social-media platform. Unless there is more bravery to stand up for what is fair and right, Christianity will perish.

As Musk tweeted about Christianity, a friend of his, Jason Calacanis, replied jokingly: If you re going into your born again era we re so here for it.

Responded Musk:  I believe in the principles of Christianity like love thy neighbor as thyself (have empathy for all) and turn the other cheek (end the cycle of retribution).  

For all of his pursuits, Musk isn t generally thought of as theologian. 

With the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive s recent political transformation, however, we are increasingly seeing Musk invoke religion as he discusses his worldviews on topics ranging from parenthood to freedom of speech. 

He has talked about his core beliefs several times this summer, including this past week when describing how he defines empathy and its place in governing. 

Raised Anglican in South Africa, young Musk got an early taste of differing religious views attending a Jewish preschool. I was just singing Hava Nagila one day and `Jesus I Love You the next, he jokes.
