How do I disable this message so that it does not appear whenever I use emacs?
;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.
;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,
;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.

It is the variable initial-scratch-message.

From the elisp info manual: (elisp) Startup Summary
-- User Option: initial-scratch-message
This variable, if non-‘nil’, should be a string, which is treated
as documentation to be inserted into the ‘*scratch*’ buffer when
Emacs starts up. If it is ‘nil’, the ‘*scratch*’ buffer is empty.
By default, the value of the `initial-scratch-message' variable is
";; This buffer is for text that is not saved, and for Lisp evaluation.\n;;
To
create a file, visit it with \\[find-file] and enter text in its
buffer.\n\n"
as seen when you do C-h v initial-scratch-message
So set that variable to nil in your config or using Customize.
