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.'I would say I generally agree with the teachings of Christianity, but I'm not religious,' he said.
