Yo that's a bs rationalization made by people who don't want to believe that Jesus meant what he said about wealth. The whole idea of the metaphor of the camel and the eye of a needle is the absurdity and impossibility of such an action. Compare to a similar image that Jesus used when condemning some Pharisees for their hypocrisy about he Law: "You strain a gnat but swallow a camel"- the reference being to the practice of straining water for gnats to avoid ingesting the non-kosher insects, and that they do those sorts of things but violate major principles of the Law of Moses.
