Is Elon Musk an atheist? Musk tweeted a picture of Friedrich Nietzsche wearing a Santa Cap!
Is Elon Musk an atheist? Is he not going to enjoy Christmas with family and friends exchanging gifts and rejoicing delicious food? The richest man in the world, Elon Musk adapts to different social situations and enjoys the holidays but he does not believe in traditional rituals.
Musk, maybe being the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, thinks scientifically. He today tweeted with a picture of great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wearing a Santa Claus cap, yes he is again joking. Friedrich Nietzsche was an atheist and believed that God is dead.
He rebelled against the belief in God’s existence as there is no scientific way to prove it. He believed that there were no great metaphysical forces that governed human life and created a framework for meaning, every individual faced the possible absurdity of existence alone. He saw Christmas as a day to celebrate Slave Morality.
He believed that humans follow the same rituals of having delicious food with family and friends and exchanging gifts and they feel great to be similar but you must stand out from the crowd. He was determined to stand out from the crowd and did not believe in traditions. He believed life to be deterministic and did not believe in God.
And now, Elon Musk seems to follow in his footsteps. He is also an atheist and maybe does not believe in God. He wants a scientific explanation of God’s existence and the old traditions for him to follow them. He is wishing Christmas to people with the picture of the person who was an atheist, Musk’s tweets are too ironic to understand.
