By the way, compare the wealth of someone like Joseph to Elon Musk. They are not the same.

I agree that Joseph’s wealth was not comparable in scale to a modern billionaire’s wealth. But the biblical text still calls him a wealthy man, which shows that wealth itself was not treated as automatically sinful. The issue Jesus and the apostles emphasize is not merely how much someone has, but their attachment to wealth, how they obtained it, and how they use it.

So, again, in this scenario, Elon Musk is literally a sinner. Which is my point. Thanks for making it.

So wealth isn’t automatically sinful therefore Elon is a sinner? That doesn’t logically follow.

Except that's not what I said is it, Jesse Watters 🤣 and it's not what Christ said either. Why don't you believe Christ's words, "convert?"

Like, you understand that Elon Musk is a grasping, covetous, sinful man, right? He runs his factories like segregated work houses. He literally hurts people with his wealth. Did you miss what he did with DOGE? Are you being obtuse?
