Pastor and prophecy teacher Billy Crone recently raised alarms about Elon Musk’s technological empire, warning that while Musk may not realize it, his innovations could help set the stage for the end-times system described in the Bible.
“I’m not saying that he’s knowingly doing it, like he wakes up every day like, ‘Yep, I’m going to help advance the Antichrist kingdom,’” Crone said. “But at the same time, that’s what I call on the front porch. Can we talk about what’s going on in the backyard? Because what’s going on in the backyard has everything to do with building the infrastructure for the Antichrist kingdom.”

Starlink and Neuralink: A Global Matrix
Crone pointed to Musk’s Starlink satellite network and Neuralink brain chip program as major concerns.
“You create a global matrix for the first time in man’s history that no one can escape. They even say even if you’re on the top of the Himalayan mountains you’ll be connected to the matrix Starlink,” he explained. “So you call this matrix globally Starlink and then your brain chips are Neuralink. What are you going to be linking there?”

Mark of the Beast Connection
For Crone, Neuralink in particular ties directly into biblical prophecy. Revelation 13 speaks of a mark on the right hand or forehead, and until now, many questioned how the forehead application would come about.
“It just so happens it’s not an arm chip or a foot chip. A brain chip. And for many years, people saying, ‘Well, wait a second. Mark of the Beast, right hand or what? Forehead.’ We’ve been used to the hand being used to be marked and make payments. But everybody’s been sitting back going like, ‘What’s up with the forehead, man? When’s the forehead thing going to come on?’ It’s here.”
Urgency for the Church
Despite the sobering warnings, Crone insisted this is no time for fear but for faith and action.
“This makes me feel more propelled to an urgent, you know, an urgency to share the gospel than ever before,” he said. “The moment you get to that final corner and you see the finish line … what do you do? You run faster. And so, we’re seeing the finish line and so we need to run faster. It’s a time to be faithful, not fearful.”
God’s Word Still Stands
Above all, Crone reminded believers that prophecy proves the Bible’s reliability.
“None of this has taken him by surprise,” he said. “This book had to come from God. This is the only one that we can trust.”

Even as the world races toward the fulfillment of prophecy, we can take heart knowing that God is in complete control. Jesus promised, “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28).
The end times are not a reason for despair but a reminder that our Savior is returning soon. These signs don’t spell fear, they point to hope, victory and the assurance that the best is yet to come in Jesus Christ.
