Elon Musk, the well-known American entrepreneur, founder of SpaceX and Tesla, stated in a recent interview that he has abandoned his atheistic worldview. He believes that we may be living in a vast computer simulation governed by a higher power, which Musk refers to as God.
Also known for his simulation theory, Musk believes that God could be the creator of this simulation in which each of us is a player. He combines this view with religious ideas, expressing a belief in the first cause of all existence and the importance of Christian values.
Currently, Musk supports the idea that humanity's main task is to ensure the continuation of the 'game' we typically call life and make it more interesting. In this context, he expressed the thought on the importance of the survival of the fittest, borrowing the idea from Darwin.
Moreover, Musk also stated his position on the European Union, calling for the closure and dismantling of this united bloc following the conflict with his social network. A fine from the European Commission prompted Musk to engage in the discussion about the sovereignty of countries and the importance of granting them authority over their own decisions in the future.
