What does Elon Musk's recent statement about Jesus signify?

Jennifer Welch 0:04
All right, the man who canceled USAID, who got the keys to the treasury, who showed up to the inauguration, all ketamined up, shows up to the Oval Office with a black eye higher than a kite on drugs because of the cuts that he made, which he is not qualified nor educated enough to do. Hundreds of thousands of people have died. He gets on Twitter, no doubt in a drug-fueled K-hole, and posts the following. I agree with the teachings of Jesus. This is from Elon Musk. I guess that people that follow MAGA and follow these billionaires are just so stupid. It's so unbelievable that people would think that Elon Musk believes in the teachings of Jesus. But then when I think about the base of Donald Trump, Their version of Jesus is Trump and Elon Musk.

They love the Republican Jesus. Okay, here's the thing. I grew up going to these churches where they sit around and talk like the version of Jesus that the Bible talks about, that Tallarico was on late night talking about. helping the sick, feeding the poor, being kind to your neighbor, and then walking out and doing everything the opposite, because you are entitled, you think you are better than other people. I was that person, so I know that it's real. And the thing about it is, if you really got down to it, the reason people that go to these mega churches because they think they are superior, you're poor, you're a different race, too bad for you because I am better. That's what it boils down to.
Angie Sullivan 1:51
That's why they have no empathy. And for anybody to sit around and act like, oh, we're the party of family values. We want to do all this for poor people. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. It is a lie. It is blasphemy. You are absolutely lying to yourself. And I know that they're lying to themselves because I lied to myself.
Jennifer Welch 2:15
I did. I think that MAGA is the party of deadbeat parents. I do. I think it is just like the party of absolute deadbeat parents. And Pops, I know that you say that you thought you were better than people, but I also think it even goes deeper than that.

How do the hosts critique the relationship between Christianity and politics?

Jennifer Welch 2:29
I think that when you're in a religion where you're constantly told you're born bad and you're not good, then you think the whole population is really bad. It's a really weird message that is unique to the evangelicals where the only way you can be good is to be saved. And I didn't go to church with my family, but I was invited with friends and the hellfire damnation of the Southern Baptist Church or evangelical churches that my friends took me to, it wasn't a message of kindness. now it was bible thumping hell fire damnation it was a lot of rage a lot of shaming a lot of fear you're not good it was it was not it was not when i actually was an adult and i read the uh teachings of the character in the bible jesus christ he's a radical empath he speaks out against the accumulation of wealth
Jennifer Welch 3:21
These mega church pastors and even smaller time church pastors are just grifters. They're snake oil salesmen. But here's the thing about Elon Musk. Elon Musk is like an... He is the immigrant that came and took everybody's jobs. And he's the immigrant that's coming and killing people. And he's the immigrant that's coming in and like completely screwing up the environment. What kills me about MAGA right now is it's like, oh, we love MAHA. We're making America healthy again. But then... They take the Environmental Protection Agency and turn it in to an agency that is going to completely dismantle the environment and kill people at a major, major scale. And so it's such a pro-death cult, MAGA is. Elon Musk is clearly one of the ringleaders of the pro-death cult.
Jennifer Welch 4:12
Because here's the guy, he says, I believe in the teachings of Jesus, yet he also says empathy is toxic. And then I guess if you're on like his Twitter feed, you just go along with that because you don't critically think. But here's the thing, and I've said this once, I'm going to say it again. One of the worst lies of American culture is that we attribute intelligence to rich people and they simply have not earned that. All they're good at is exploiting.
