During a recent appearance on the PBD Podcast, Mitchell accused the Tesla frontman of being "evil" and labeled him the 'Anti-Christ' figure who will present the 'Mark of the Beast' to the world. The UFC featherweight said:
"Somebody that has fooled everybody, but he simply cannot fool me, Elon Musk. I think that he could possibly be, now I could be wrong... But based off of what I think, he could possibly be the 'False Prophet' who presents the 'Mark of the Beast' to the world and presents the 'Anti-Christ' on the world stage. That's how evil I think he is."
