Elon Musk has described himself as a 'cultural Christian' and expressed appreciation for Christian principles. This market resolves YES if Musk makes an explicit, unambiguous statement identifying as a Christian (not just 'cultural Christian') on any public platform (Twitter, interviews, etc.) before 31st December, 2028. The statement must be unambiguous (e.g., "I am a Christian" or expressing belief in core Christian doctrines like Jesus's divinity or resurrection)

Resolution source: Musk's X/Twitter account (@elonmusk) or verified news coverage of direct quotes.

@TimothyJohnson5c16 I'm personally happy with your subjective assessment. Objective criteria are great when you can get them, but this feels like a fundamentally subjective question (and I have a strong prior that he says things for utilitarian purposes).

@WilliamGunn Me? I'm not the market creator, so you'll have to ask @JoshuaTan.

@TimothyJohnson5c16 Oh, right, lol. Well I would still prefer your judgment!
