Vance paid his respects to Adams on social media: “Scott Adams was a true American original, and a great ally to the President of the United States and the entire administration. My prayers go to Scott and all of you who loved him.”
“We lost one of the good ones but we’ll never forget him,” Vance added.
“Rest in glorious peace, @ScottAdamsSays — you changed more lives and made the world infinitely better. God bless you and thank you for everything you did for me. We will always love you,” Fox News comedian and host Greg Gutfeld said.
Mike Cernovich chimed in, “Scott Adams could have kept his mouth shut in 2015, kept those lavish corporate speaking gigs where he’d earn 50-100K per talk, and have died with an extra zero or two in his bank account. Instead he chose courage and died surrounded by the love of tens of millions.”
Quote-tweeting Adams’ final message, Elon Musk commented, “Even though I knew his death was coming, as he told us it would, I still can’t believe he has died. Rest in peace, good and great man, rest in peace.”
Adams’ X account posted a two-page “Final Message” mid-morning Tuesday. The statement offers a reflection on his life and work and, significantly, shined a light on his apparent last-minute conversion to Christianity.
“I’m not a believer, but I have to admit the risk-reward calculation for doing so looks attractive. So, here I go,” the statement reads in part. “I accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, and I look forward to spending an eternity with him. The part about me not being a believer should be quickly resolved if I wake up in heaven. I won’t need any more convincing than that. And I hope I am still qualified for entry.”
Adams died after a prolonged battle with metastatic prostate cancer. He announced his diagnosis last May and suggested in early January that his days were numbered following serious complications, including lower-body paralysis.
