Roko's basilisk is very funny because it's just a version of Pascal's Wager where if you think it's bullshit god just goes "understandable have a nice day" and only punishes you if you believe in it but don't sufficiently obsess about it.
It does have that deistic element to it, but it's primarily solipsistic because they don't want to live in the simulated universe and accept it in its programmed natural laws, they want to escape the simulation because they believe it's all fundamentally unreal.
