How valid is the statement by some scholars that Moses (peace be upon him) feared that the people would be led astray, but did not fear Pharaoh?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. How valid is the statement by some scholars that Moses (peace be upon him) feared that the people would be led astray, but did not fear Pharaoh?
The Shaykh : No, that is wrong. This statement is invalid, and the verse invalidates it:

Allah said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior.

قلنا لا تخف إنك أنت الأعلى

[Taha 20:68]

This indicates that he feared him.
