Is Elon Musk, America's Billionaire, a Secret Member of the Illuminati?

Elon Musk seems to be a permanent fixture in America’s news feeds and an interesting topic of discussion for many reasons to include his eccentric personality, his numerous children from multiple mothers, his seemingly simple lifestyle, etc. And a topic I see discussed often: Is Elon Musk in the Illuminati? I’m sure most of America, and even the world, has pondered these topics of discussions. Elon Musk is known as the richest man in world with a staggering net worth of $418.7 Billion, as of May 26, 2025 (Forbes, 2025). Elon Musk earned his fortune by co-founding and co-owning numerous tech companies which include X, Tesla, SpaceX, Nueralink, The Boring Company, xAI, and previously Pay Pal (USA TODAY, 2025). How does one man have so many successful companies? Does Elon Musk have a unique and special ability to co-create and co-operate extremely successful ventures? Or is his tremendous success merely the rewards of his effort, hard work, dedication, knowledge, ability, skills, and other attributes? Perhaps he has succeeded in the ultimate American dream; or has he had help from the Illuminati? In this article, I will explore the theory of Elon Musk being an elusive member of the secret society, the Illuminati, which ultimately may have changed the trajectory of his businesses and finances.

As I discussed in one of my previous articles Exposing the Illuminati and their New World Order Agenda, “The Illuminati is an elite organization of world leaders, business authorities, innovators, artists, and other influential members of this planet” (The Official Illuminati, 2025). So, is Elon Musk a member and an elite business authority in the Illuminati? I have concluded, yes, he probably is. Why do I make such a claim? Well, from evidence on the official Illuminati web page called The Billionaires Giving Pledge. To explain further, the official Illuminati’s webpage has a link to The Billionaires Giving Pledge and is described as, “a commitment by the world's wealthiest individuals and families to dedicate the majority of their wealth to philanthropy” (The Giving Pledge, 2025). When I clicked on the Billionaire’s Giving Pledge List of Current Pledges it then directed me to The Giving Pledge.com and there I found the list of names of who have taken the pledge. There are many surprising and unsurprising names on this list such as: H-E-B Owner, Charles Butt, Ted Turner, Facebook Officer Sheryl Sandburg and her husband Dave Goldburg, popular San Diego philanthropists Joan and Irwin Jacobs, Barrin Hilton, Dianne Von Furstenberg, Warron Buffet, ex-mayor of New York Michael R. Bloomberg, David Rockefeller, Jeff and Marieke Rothchild, Bill Gates, Melinda French Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Percilla Chan, and Elon Musk who has been a member since 2012. Yes, you read that correctly, Elon Musk. These are just a handful of names that I recognized, and a full list of pledges is found in Appendix A. Again, the Giving Pledge is a promise by the world's wealthiest philanthropists to give the majority of their wealth to charitable causes in their lifetime or wills (The Giving Pledge, 2025) and is promoted and solicited from the official Illuminati webpage. Even though the Illuminati claims to not be involved in the Billionaire Giving Pledge, as their website says, “the Illuminati is not directly affiliated with this charity and cannot accept donations of any kind” (Illuminati, 2025), I do not believe them. If they are not involved and directly affiliated, then why advertise and endorse this specific pledge on their website and also have a section labeled ‘to pledge’. Also, the Billionaire Giving Pledge’s mission statement aligns exactly with the Illuminati’s New World Order Agenda of equal wealth distribution. To see this correlation look no further than the Illuminati’s explanation as to why they support this pledge:

The Illuminati supports the positive efforts of this planet’s elite and the initiative of the Giving Pledge. Originally conceived by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett, the Giving Pledge encourages those with much to consider the needs of those with less. By taking the Giving Pledge, wealthy members of the human species promise to donate the majority of their monetary worth to charitable causes that support positive changes in the lives of those who need it. The Giving Pledge is intended for billionaires or those who would be billionaires if not for their donations to charity.

Another reason for not believing the Illuminati when they claim not to be involved in the Billionaire Giving Pledge, is because the Illuminati has already admitted to being a secret society, except for the last 10 years or so of going public to gain more members through the citizens outreach program. As just mentioned, The Illuminati is extremely secretive and does not profess the truth and I can further say, hides the truth from the general public by their own profession(s) and confession(s). One example of their secrecy is an excerpt from their article Our globalist agenda: part I – preparing for the next stage of the illuminati’s new world order, “to protect the integrity of our plan against those who would seek to destroy it, the Illuminati has been compelled to leave many questions unanswered and to direct our members to perform their duties in secret” (The Official Illuminati, 2025). And instead of being fully transparent of their New World Order agenda they believe to have an “universal obligation to leave signs and signals for those who are looking for our path” (The Official Illuminati, 2025). Another example of their secrecy is an excerpt from a letter by the Vice President of the Illuminati regarding the death of United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, “…though it is our policy to neither confirm nor deny any person’s involvement or membership in our organization…"(The Official Illuminati, 2025).

In conclusion, I believe the Billionaires Giving Pledge was actually created by members of the Illuminati, and Elon Musk has clearly pledged a great deal of his wealth, to this charity, for the ‘betterment of humankind’ through the guise of philanthropy (hmmm is this actually the New World Order agenda?). I am not writing this article to portray Elon Musk in a negative light or slander him; I actually think he is an incredible asset to the United States, Christian or not, and I applaud him for providing a plethora of jobs to my fellow Americans. I am only writing this article to answer the question if Elon Musk is in the Illuminati (and to also expose the owner of the monopoly grocery store chain HEB). I hope Elon Musk continues with great success and accomplishment, even though, yes, I believe he probably is a secret Illuminati member.
