Billionaire business mogul Elon Musk rarely shares his views on God and spirituality. However, in a recent episode of the Katie Miller podcast, Musk offered a surprising glimpse into his perspective.
When asked, “Who do you look up to the most?” Musk replied simply, “The Creator.”
Musk was then asked, “What’s your current position on God?” He then stated, “God is the Creator.”
Miller then pressed him further with, “You don’t believe in God, though, do you?” Musk responded, “Well, I believe there was… this universe came for something. People have different labels.”

His statements gained a plethora of responses online.
As Sky News Australia noted, one commentator wrote, “Engineers respect the design, especially as studied as Elon Musk is. It becomes undeniable. It’s handcrafted. Zero percent chance of chaos or randomization fabricating what’s happening.”
However, some were more skeptical, noting, “Yeah, that’s not what he said at all. He does not believe in God. He believes in science.”
Musk’s rare acknowledgment of a creator is a window into his heart and mind. Right now, his concept of God is minimal; however, God can use even this small mustard seed to plant the truth of the gospel deep in Musk’s soul.
Right now, pray for Elon Musk. Ask the Lord that his eyes would be opened to the truth of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of all. Pray that Musk would recognize Him as the source of life and purpose beyond this universe. Elon Musk may be shaping the future of technology, space and global commerce, but the greatest gift and blessing of all is one he cannot build himself: a relationship and eternal life with Jesus.
