Tesla CEO and billionaire Alan Musk has responded to the criticism of Pop Lio XIV through a strict line of the Bible. The Pope had questioned the Package of Musk, which is about 1 trillion dollars. Musk’s reply has now started debate all over the world over money, greed and morality of companies.

Alan Musk replied to the Pope’s criticism while sharing a line of the Bible in a post on ‘X’. He wrote, ‘You see a straw in your neighbor’s eye, but why don’t you see a big stick lying in your eye?’ The line, shared by Musk, has been introduced as a sarcasm at the Vatican’s assets of its estimated $ 2 trillion.

How did the whole controversy start?

Actually, this dispute started when Pope Leo XIV said that Musk’s so big salary is not appropriate and it is against morality. On this, Musk retaliated, citing the Bible. Now from social media to news, people are giving their opinion on this.

Some people are supporting Musk, while some are accepting the Pope’s words right. This debate has now become not just one person or company, but it has become that how to balance money and morality in the modern world.

He also said that Musk’s leadership has been the rule of Tesla’s success and this scheme will inspire the company to improve further in future.
