Elon Musk has endorsed a rapper and social media personality who called the West “screwed without Christianity” in a tweet.
Recently, Nzube Olisaebuka Udezue, also referred to as Zuby, likened the elimination of Christianity from western culture to “removing a building’s foundation but proudly expecting it to remain standing forever.” All the meantime, adversaries from the outside and inside are attempting to topple the structure.

Elon Musk, the CEO of X, tweeted, “You’re probably right,” in response to Zuby’s remark.
Christian host Zuby invited Musk to appear on his podcast, “Real Talk with Zuby Podcast,” which was only accessible on X, in June 2023. Musk talked about his beliefs on religion in passing during a 2013 SoulPancake YouTube channel interview with Rainn Wilson. Musk responded, “I don’t really worship anything, but I do devote myself to the advancement of humanity by using technology,” when asked if he was a worshipper.
Musk did, however, acknowledge during the historic SpaceX Dragon capsule splashdown in August 2020—which successfully returned astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to Earth—that he had prayed for this particular mission.
These exchanges provide light on Musk’s nuanced connection with religion as well as his dedication to the advancement of science and mankind.
