Elon Musk was asked if he believes in God. His answer took longer than anyone expected and it didn't land where the audience thought it would.
Most billionaires dodge this question. They give a diplomatic answer to avoid conflict. Musk didn't dodge it.
He said he agrees with the idea of a creator. That when he looks at the physics of the universe, the precision of the constants, the mathematical elegance of how everything holds together, it seems unlikely that it's all random.
But he didn't stop there.
He said he wasn't sure the creator is the version described in any particular religious text. That the universe itself might be the closest thing to God that he can understand. That the act of making life multi-planetary is, in his view, a way of honoring whatever force created consciousness by making sure consciousness survives.
He basically described his life's work as a spiritual mission without ever using the word spiritual.
Building rockets to Mars isn't just engineering to him. It's an answer to a question about whether the universe created intelligent life only to watch it die on one planet. He said that felt like a waste. Like the universe wouldn't bother creating consciousness if it was meant to end on one rock.
So his answer to "do you believe in God" was essentially: I believe something created all of this. And I think the appropriate response to that creation is to protect it by spreading it as far as possible.
That's not atheism. It's not traditional religion. It's a man who looked at the stars and decided the most reverent thing he could do was make sure we reach them.

In Japanese archery, there's a discipline called kyudo. The goal isn't to hit the target. The goal is to perfect the form. The belief is that if the archer's posture, breathing, and focus are correct, the arrow will find the target on its Own.
Apply that to your life. Stop obsessing over the result. Perfect the process. Fix your daily habits, your discipline, your mental clarity. Get those right, and the outcomes you're chasing will arrive without you forcing them.
When it comes to the role of human ingenuity in the world of AI - two things are very clear in my view:
(1) Human ingenuity is an absolute necessity to maximize the value of AI. AI can do 90% of many things, but the last 10% of applied human context, wisdom, intelligence, perspective is critical to unlocking real value. Humans can focus their time on doing the highest value work in this world.
(2) The inverse is also true: the lack of human ingenuity categorically limits the value one can get from AI. When people complain about AI not working or AI not doing anything helpful - the problem isn't AI, the problem is the lack of applied human ingenuity, capability, and creativity in that context.
If humans are the unlock for AI, by definition, they are also the bottleneck for AI as well.
You can see the difference in companies already - companies with people that are living in #1 vs. companies that are living in #2 might as well be from different planets. The entire operating model and culture couldn't be more different. And that divergence seems to be accelerating with time.
This is brilliant corporate finance. Use your newly printed, low float, retail inflated currency to acquire real businesses ahead of the lockup expiring. Probably the most creative/accretive way to sell as much equity as possible into IPO pump. I wonder what acquisition is next.
BREAKING: The US DOJ just declared Elon Musk's AI data center a national security asset and blocked an environmental lawsuit against it.
The NAACP filed a lawsuit against xAI in April 2026 under the Clean Air Act, alleging the company is operating dozens of gas turbines without the required air permits to power its Colossus 2 data center.
The turbines are located in Southaven, Mississippi, just across the state line from the data center in South Memphis, Tennessee.
Since the lawsuit was filed, the number of turbines has grown from 27 to 57.
xAI says that the turbines are legally exempt from Mississippi air permitting requirements because they are mounted on trailers and classified as temporary mobile equipment.
On Monday, the Department of Justice intervened in the case, filing court papers arguing that shutting down the turbines would “threaten American national, economic, and energy security.”
The DOJ stated that the power supply supports U.S. military AI operations.
Cameron Stanley, the Defense Department’s Chief Digital and AI Officer, submitted a declaration stating that Grok is one of only four AI models currently cleared for mission critical operations across Secret and Top Secret classified government networks, and that it has been used in recent U.S. military operations against Iran.
The DOJ, xAI, and the state of Mississippi are jointly asking the court to dismiss the case.
Only ~5% of SpaceX stock is floating right now
~95% $SPCX is still locked
Most don’t realize bearish pressure often comes later, when insiders finally get liquidity
Unlock schedule below ⬇️
SpaceX $SPCX traded 256 million shares yesterday.
The entire public float is 556 million.
So in one day, almost half of every tradable share changed hands. Bought and sold, over and over, in a few hours.
Here's why that number is absurd. SpaceX sold 555.6 million shares at $135 to raise $75 billion. That float is barely 4% of the company. Musk and insiders hold the other 96%, locked up and unable to sell.
Tiny supply. Enormous demand. Index funds that have to own it, retail that wants to, traders chasing the move.
The result is a $2 trillion company that trades like a penny stock. Up to $211 pre-market, swinging double-digit percentages between coffees.
This is what happens when you list 4% of the seventh-largest company in America and let the world fight over the scraps.
The price isn't telling you what SpaceX is worth.
It's telling you how few shares there are to buy.
If you want something from someone, make it clear what. It's not imposing to ask explicitly for something; it's imposing to be vague and make the recipient work to figure out what you want.

Elon: "The AI satellite is much simpler than a Starlink satellite. The AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. The easier one to design for is the AI satellite. It's bigger. A lot of this is technology we've already made with the Starlink V3 satellites."
After announcing a temporary pause to Value tiers in order to protect the submissions already in our care, we saw another surge in submissions which pushed our active queue to nearly 14 million cards.
We also made a commitment to transparency, which is why we’ve launched the PSA Backlog Tracker.
Updated bi-weekly, the tracker uses the same numbers reviewed by PSA management.
We expect Value tiers will reopen once the global backlog reaches 5 million units.
