The billionaire responded to a post asking who would 'evangelize Elon Musk' with a simple statement last week: 'I agree with the teachings of Jesus.' 

The remark drew mixed reactions on X, with some noting Musk's growing openness about faith, while others interpreted it as a possible signal of a future announcement or revelation.

One user wrote, 'Something really, really bad is about to come out about him,' while others defended Musk, dismissing such claims as unfounded. 

'Every time someone appreciates the teachings of Jesus on compassion and truth, cynics jump to assume it's covering for some scandal,' another X user commented.

Musk has shared more about his faith journey in recent years. In 2022, he wrote on X: 'Jesus taught love, kindness and forgiveness. I used to think that turning the other cheek was weak & foolish, but I was the fool for not appreciating its profound wisdom.'

In December, he elaborated further during a podcast appearance, stating that he believes God exists. 

'I believe this universe came from something. People have different labels [for God],' Musk explained.

His mother, Maye Musk, shared the post and reflected on the family's religious background. 

'My three children were christened in the Methodist Church. I taught them at Episcopalian Sunday school. I went to a Protestant Sunday school and was married to a Christian minister. We were taught to love everyone,' she wrote.

Musk's faith journey has been long and complex. He has said he lost his religious belief around age 14 after questioning the meaning of life and the universe. 

At the time, he described feeling depressed, uncertain about purpose, and was often labeled an atheist or agnostic.

In 2013, he told actor Rainn Wilson that while there are 'certainly things we don't understand about the universe,' he was 'less convinced that there's some superconsciousness watching over our every movement and kind of evaluating it against some criteria and deciding whether we're going to one place or another when we die. I think that's unlikely.'

By 2022 and 2023, Musk began expressing more alignment with Christian principles, though he remained non-religious.
