Elon Musk used to dismiss the idea of an all-powerful God that judged the actions of individual humans — the type of pronouncement that made him a hero for the atheist community.
"There's certainly things we don't understand about the universe, but I'm 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 go to one place or another when we die," he told "The Office" star Rainn Wilson (yes, really) in a 2013 interview. "I think that's unlikely."
"If there's some superconsciousness, where did the superconsciousness come from?" he pondered further. "So I think the most likely explanation is that complexity evolved from simplicity, that simple elements over time combined to become more complex and arrive at what we are."
Now it sounds like Musk's thinking has evolved: after fully committing himself and tens of millions of his dollars to getting former president Donald Trump reelected, Musk is now pandering to the Christian right.
