But they\u2019re so divisive with their petty separation of church and state, so I will become a Scientologist,\u201d tweeted Musk. \u201cNow, watch the atheists&#8217; dirty constitutional rights campaign against me unfold,\u201d he added with a popcorn emoji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk, who claims to have never believed in an afterlife, made the decision after seeing atheists and religious progressives speak out against religion-based extremism, such as taking away a woman&#8217;s right to choose an abortion or a woman&#8217;s right to speak out against billionaires making sexual advances on female flight attendants working for their company. Claiming they are &#8220;too woke&#8221; for his taste, Musk decided to instead join Scientology, where he says he will have &#8220;unlimited freedom&#8221; to do as he pleases except for ever being allowed to criticize or leave Scientology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Americans are tired of hardcore progressive zealots who insist on pursuing controversial goals like gay marriage and not forcing children to pray in schools,&#8221; said Musk. &#8220;If given the choice between a group of people who believe in personal rights and a group of people that aren&#8217;t allowed to have any friends outside of their religion, it&#8217;s a no-brainer &#8211; I&#8217;m joining the cult. I don&#8217;t have friends anyway.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After being indoctrinated into believing that an alien dictator named Xenu brought billions of his people to Earth in a spacecraft 75 million years ago, stacked them around volcanoes, and killed them with hydrogen bombs, Musk announced several other confusing decisions, including moving to Antarctica to avoid cold weather, running a coal mine to help the environment, and selling LuLaRoe to get rich quick selling quality products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the heels of his announcement that he\u2019s joining the Republican Party to avoid &#8220;division and hate,&#8221; billionaire Elon Musk made another senseless decision by declaring that he will join the Church of Scientology to avoid crazy religious zealots. &#8220;In the past, I was an atheist because they were (mostly) kind and believed in science&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2356,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[247,114,240,516,95,1009,1101,551,24,970,373,995,749,370,140,489,371,368,979,340,141,161,490,537,40,189,640,512,405,638,130,339,581,94,98,162,298,32,542,156,93,111,2,719,718,716,717,104,164,1109,599,42],"class_list":["post-2357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-politics","tag-abortion","tag-amazon","tag-amy-coney-barrett","tag-cnn","tag-comedy","tag-dc-humor","tag-dc-news","tag-dc-politics","tag-dc-satire","tag-dmv-news","tag-ebay","tag-election-2024","tag-elon-musk","tag-facebook","tag-fake-news","tag-funny","tag-gmail","tag-google","tag-google-news","tag-hulu","tag-humor","tag-joe-biden","tag-jokes","tag-local-news","tag-maga","tag-maryland","tag-maryland-satire","tag-md-politics","tag-moco-politics","tag-moco-satire","tag-montgomery-county","tag-netflix","tag-onion","tag-parody","tag-political-satire","tag-politics","tag-qanon","tag-racism","tag-reddit","tag-republican","tag-satire","tag-satirical-news","tag-takoma-park","tag-takoma-park-news","tag-takoma-park-satire","tag-takoma-satire","tag-takoma-satirical-news","tag-takoma-torch","tag-takomatorch","tag-tesla","tag-the-onion","tag-trump","wpcat-10-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/takomatorch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/takoma-torch-elon-scientology2066881951321857259.jpg?fit=1080%2C825&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paPZSG-C1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takomatorch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
