Elon Musk Compares His Work to Miracles Performed by Jesus Christ
Speaking by video link at an event in Israel this week, as spotted by MarketWatch, Musk complained that his brain-computer interface company Neuralink doesn’t get the credit it deserves.
“Restoring control of people who are tetraplegics and restoring sight I think are pretty big deals,” Musk boasted. “They’re sort of what I might call Jesus-level technologies.”
It’s true that Musk has hyped up the possibility of restoring vision to the blind and movement to the paralyzed through future Neuralink tech, but the company has yet to show any evidence of those type of breakthroughs. And we’re not aware of any plans by the billionaire to bring the dead back to life.
This falls into is a long pattern of braggadocio by the world’s wealthiest man, who often makes bombastic claims that elevate his actual accomplishments into outrageous mythmaking.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
