Kimbal Musk Used Ayahuasca And "Felt The Voice Of God"

Ayahuasca is a plant-based psychedelic drug commonly used for spiritual ceremonies. Kimbal Musk takes a slightly different stance on God than his older brother.

Elon Musk's younger brother, who is far more private than the Twitter owner, told Dave Asprey, a wellness-company founder, and biohacker, in a recent interview that he "felt the voice of God" later on in life.

While Elon Musk has said he's "not religious" and has questioned whether life is a simulation and "may have no meaning," Kimbal Musk said he believed in the "soul and spirit."

In 2010, he broke his neck skiing. The Tesla board member said he was paralyzed for three days before a doctor performed surgery to fix his spinal cord.

"I'm not a religious person. I don't subscribe to any of the religions, but I felt the voice of God. I felt a deep resonance in me," Musk told Asprey, adding that he wasn't sure at the time whether the surgeon would be able to heal him.

"It was in that moment where I said, 'God, if I am healed, I will really dedicate myself to food in a way that would make the planet a better place,'" he said, and the experience made him more "soul- and spirit-oriented."

Kimbal Musk co-founded a restaurant, The Kitchen, in 2004. He's also the co-founder of two other food-related companies, a nonprofit called Big Green, and the urban-farming startup Square Roots.
