During a recent town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, a pastor offered a public prayer for Elon Musk, invoking a “hedge of protection” around him, his family, and his team.
The pastor expressed gratitude for Musk’s efforts on behalf of the United States and referenced the challenges he faces. Musk responded by expressing appreciation for the prayer, acknowledging the need for divine protection.
The pastor prayed the following:
“We ask that you envelop and protect all of those who are fighting for justice, for freedom, for order, for dignity, and to reward people according to merit.
“Especially put your hedge of protection around Elon Musk, around his children, around his whole entire family, and all of his team members; that all would do good and just by our country and freedom, truly and [that] justice would reign once again.
“We ask this in the name of the blessed Savior, Jesus Christ, who we remember during this time of year, who suffered and died for our sins…May you wash away all that is wrong with our country and start with us. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
“That was beautiful. I think we’re going to need divine protection, frankly,” Elon said in response.
The Wisconsin pastor was not the only one calling for prayers of intercession for Musks safety. Franklin Graham also urged his listeners to pray for Musk amid the hatred he is receiving online and in-person at Telsa dealerships.
“Elon Musk is taking a lot of heat for leading the efforts to cut waste in our government. He has pushed policies to reduce spending, curb regulations, downsize workforce, and eliminate waste—and for this, he is receiving a lot of hate,” Graham noted.
Graham went on to add, “[Musk] has said that his companies are suffering due to his involvement in helping the Trump administration and trying to make a difference for our nation…He has said that America’s future is something that keeps him up at night. I’m sure that all of the hateful displays we are seeing on the news must be a discouragement.
“We need to lift [Musk] up in prayer. Even though he is a very smart and gifted man, he still needs wisdom from God. Let’s ask God to lead him, protect him, and give him wisdom. No question, there is power in prayer.”
As political tensions and violence reach unprecedented levels, the Christian community is increasingly rallying around figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Many believers see them as key figures resisting cultural and governmental overreach, defending free speech, and pushing back against policies that threaten religious liberty.
