“Restoring control of people who are tetraplegics and restoring sight, I think, are pretty big deals. They’re sort of what I might call Jesus-level technologies.”
Successful tech entrepreneur, investor, and billionaire Elon Musk made the above statement in May 2026 during a virtual interview at the Samson International Smart Mobility Summit in Israel.

“Jesus-Level Miracles”
Several days after the interview, Musk responded to a post that suggested that his SpaceX Starship booster was “the last truly gigantic engineering marvel built entirely by human hands.” He answered this by saying, “Neuralink is a much bigger breakthrough than most people realize. Enabling people to control a computer with their mind and the completely blind to see are Jesus-level miracles.”
In fact, Musk does seem to think that his brain implant company Neuralink holds the key to performing what he terms “Jesus-level miracles.” One of its many goals is to restore sensory functions such as vision and hearing, as well as communication abilities, to those who cannot speak. Neuralink’s newest project, Blindsight, aims to make the blind see again by stimulating parts of the brain that are involved in vision. Other lofty goals include overcoming paralysis and neurological disorders such as ALS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and memory impairments.
Cybernetic Superpowers and Telepathy
In Musk’s mind, these brain implants will allow the human body to break free from its limitations and weaknesses through the use of “cybernetic superpowers” and telepathic communication with computers. In essence, the power of technology is what will produce “miracles” that emulate the divine. Musk has also suggested that brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) could one day allow a person’s memories, personality, or brain patterns to be downloaded and then transferred to a new body, or even a robot.
Nothing Compares to Jesus
Finding ways to help the blind see, the deaf hear, and restore neurological function are noble ideas, but using brain implants to do this is not only short-sighted but also dangerous. A line in the sand is crossed when one compares anything technology can do to what Jesus has already done, and is still doing for mankind. Some of the miracles Jesus performed while on earth include restoring sight to the blind, curing the deaf and mute, healing the paralyzed, and cleansing lepers. But Jesus performed these miracles only through the power of Almighty God, not with AI or technology. He is the Son of God who came to earth to die for the sins of mankind so that humans may receive eternal life with Him, not so they could cheat death by becoming a cyborg or allowing their brains to be implanted into another body.
Summoning the Demon
Musk is a master of mixed messaging. On the one hand, he sings the praises of brain chips, but on the other, he offers grave warnings by stating, “With artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon. You know those stories where there’s the guy with the pentagram, and the holy water, and he’s like, yeah, he’s sure he can control the demon. Doesn’t work out.”
Musk is certainly onto something with the demon analogy. Inserting brain chips into the heads of humans is a demon’s dream because, in the wrong hands, they could be used to control thoughts, ideas, actions, and even worship. It’s been proposed that neural implants could allow information to be downloaded into the brain at incredible speeds. It stands to reason that manipulation and brainwashing would be quite easy with this kind of access.
In order to mitigate the threat of AI transforming into a demon that takes over the world, Musk suggests, “If we are able to effectively achieve symbiosis with digital intelligence, then … the collective human will is better able to steer things in the direction that we’d like, or even with benign AI, at least go along for the ride.”
Musk is making an attempt to steer the world in the direction of this “symbiosis” through his neurotechnology company Neuralink. The website explains, “Our brain-computer interface (BCI) translates neural signals into actions. In our clinical trials, people are using Neuralink devices to control computers and robotic arms with their thoughts. This technology will restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs and unlock new dimensions of human potential.”
The Occult is Guiding Tech Leaders
Exactly what are these new dimensions of human potential? Moreover, what provides the inspiration for the ideas that will usher in the so-called miracles that will transform humanity? Look no further than the pagan Burning Man festival, which takes place in the Nevada desert each year. A 40-foot-tall wooden man is burned as attendees meditate, chant, and dance their way into a state of “spiritual awakening.” A mecca for AI networking, this occult-saturated event is where business deals and creative ideas are born.
Many tech entrepreneurs and developers boast that Burning Man “shows them what the world could look like after artificial general intelligence–AI that is capable of matching or surpassing human intelligence.” Musk has attended the festival many times and even commissioned a 30-foot sculpture that was displayed in 2022. The true essence of tech culture, according to Silicon Valley, is epitomized at this event where AI developers, entrepreneurs, and influencers openly experiment with psychedelic (hallucinogenic) substances such as LSD, psilocybin, DMT, ayahuasca, ketamine, and peyote. These mind-altering agents are used to help them connect with the “divine.” During these drug-induced experiences, spirit guides (demons) offer knowledge, wisdom, inspiration, and “healing.” Perhaps this is why, when it comes to Burning Man, Musk has stated, “if you haven’t been, you just don’t get it.” In the past, Musk has admitted to using prescribed ketamine to “get out of a negative state of mind.”
God’s Word Lays Out the Truth
The Word of God is clear when it comes to the human mind. Romans 12:2 declares, Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what the will of God is, what is good and acceptable and perfect. AI cannot discern the will of God, and neither can a brain implant. When tech geniuses try to create their own miracles through inventions inspired by anything other than God, they are on their way to building a technological Tower of Babel. Their manmade bricks will crash to the ground.
Technocracy Ties
Digging into the branches of Elon’s family tree, one finds a concerning clue. His maternal grandfather, Joshua N. Haldeman, served as one of the leading organizers in the Technocracy Movement in Canada during the 1930’s. Proponents envisioned replacing politicians and traditional economic systems with governance by engineers, scientists, and technical experts. Areas monitored by this system would be called “technates.” The inherent dangers of this idea seem obvious, yet we have seen bits and pieces of this creeping into our lives from the COVID pandemic, where AI tracked and traced humanity, to the current AI race, where massive data centers are being built to support rapid AI development.
In this digitally-centered world, the idea of AI-driven technology ruling our lives isn’t foreign. The truth is that many digital entrepreneurs believe that humans are nothing more than data, capable of being hacked and manipulated. Musk has argued that AI could make humans obsolete, speculating that “Over time, I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence.” Through his company Neuralink and other tech ventures, Musk sees that possibility as becoming a reality.
Only Jesus Can Transform the Human Condition
The Word of God is crystal clear. Jesus is the only One who can transform the human body, as well as the spirit. The only interface we need is the Holy Spirit, which guides our thoughts and actions. All humans are appointed to die once, as revealed in Hebrews 9:27. Leaders in the tech industry who don’t know Jesus Christ as their savior are obsessed with defeating the human condition, but most of all, death.
But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil,” Genesis 3:4-5.
Brain implant technology seems promising, but eating from this tree will not keep humans from suffering or death. The most sophisticated AI inventions can provide forbidden knowledge, but at what cost?
The Bible also warns of a future mark that will be forced upon humanity.
Also, it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666, Revelation 13:16-18.
In this age of AI acceleration, Elon Musk and other tech influencers need the wisdom and discernment that comes from Jesus Christ. Reducing the suffering of humans and healing debilitating conditions isn’t a sinful goal, but it must be done with the guidance and direction of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The lie from the Garden of Eden is still circulating–you can be like God. You can create your own miracles through technology.
Lord Jesus, we pray that Elon Musk would receive salvation, wisdom, and discernment that can only come from You. Tear down the technological Tower of Babel that has been created through demonic inspiration. Miracles can only happen through Your will, power, and grace. Saturate Silicon Valley with Your presence, and provide restored hearts and minds that come from a relationship with You.
