Musk just dropped his take on spirituality vs. hard science—and yeah, it's pure Elon.
He acknowledges people's spiritual experiences are legit *to them*, but here's where he draws the line: he's all about what you can actually prove. Evidence. Data. Predictions that hold up.
His whole worldview? Physics-based. If it can't be measured or predicted, he's not building his rockets on it. Classic engineer brain—respecting personal belief while staying locked into testable reality.
Say what you want about the guy, but that "show me the math" mentality is exactly why he's reshaping industries that others said were impossible.

Alright, this guy is just an engineer's brain; he won't believe it unless he can calculate everything.

Data never lies, and faith cannot change the laws of physics... I agree with this point.

Ha, recharging faith again. Elon’s trap is just a trick to shake off the suckers.

This guy is purely a science and engineering type; it's not that belief is wrong, it's just that one has to speak with data.

That's why he can turn the dream of Mars into reality, while others are still bull.

theoretically speaking, if we map elon's "show me the math" ethos onto cross-chain verification... basically he's running a zero-knowledge proof of belief lmao. respects the state, demands the proof. that's just recursive SNARKs applied to epistemology ngl
