(Reuters) - Elon Musk on Friday night broke his nine-day silence on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), the social media platform he is trying to buy for $44 billion, posting a picture of him meeting Pope Francis on Thursday.

The world's richest person tweeted a picture where he can be seen standing next to the pope, captioning it: "Honored to meet @pontifex yesterday."

Musk's four teenage boys are also pictured, but not his 18-year-old transgender daughter who, on June 20 sought to change her name and sever ties with him. Musk has a total of eight children.

The purpose and location of Musk's meeting with the pope were not immediately clear.

Last month, Musk said there were "still a few unresolved matters" on the deal to buy Twitter, including the number of spam users on the system and the coming together of the debt portion of the deal.

They delivered a message to him....they probably told him to tow the line. I'd be shorting Tesla big time now.
Wonder what confession he must have done this time "Forgive me father for I have sinned....Again!! This is the thing with billionaires, they don't confess with next door father...they need the Pope.
The Pope and the “fathers” will allways fail. Man kind is allways the same. God is in heaven. Look up for Salvation! Hope to see you there. Till then lets keep America great and work hard for feedom and the American dream!
American dream is a work in progress for decades now. So relax
His daughter must be part of the new woke culture. Too bad!
Relax. Live and let live.
Not a fan of the Pope. Big fan of musk. Hope he is the next big boy capitalist for America!
