Saudi Arabia helped Elon Musk buy Twitter

[Cyrano]

They are the second largest investor. And they're going to have a big say on what is and isn't allowed on Twitter.

Saudi Fucking Arabia? The Royal Family that funded the 9/11 attack? The one's Cheney/Bush ignored and attacked Iraq instead, (which had nothing to do with 9/11)? Saudi Fucking Arabia?

There must be someway to put a stop to this. What you can do is get off Twitter and never use it again. Musk and the Saudis are going to spread shit worldwide, much the same as Fox "news" does.

Musk and the Saudi's now own the biggest propaganda machine in the world. Time for the rest of us to say "Enough." You don't get to do this. You don't get to fuck us every minute of every day.

The problem is, no one knows how to stop them.

Suggestions?

1. I'm not on twit but my suggestion on how to stop them is not to feed them, in other words

remove yourself from anything to do with twit and then notify some of the advertisers what you have done and why you did it.

[ananda]

7. Yes. Just don't twit.

I'm gone now.

2. He can probably count on some bone saw sales and service adverts.. .

3. Russia/China/Saudi. Our new overlords.

The GOP sold us out.

[TheBlackAdder]

19. Electronic versions of 757/767s. Hey, they helped plan 9/11 without repercussions why not try again?

[Irish_Dem]

21. Exactly. They've been at war with us for some time.

They never stopped. Russia/China/Saudi/Iran.
And the GOP is on their side.

4. Problem is-- just about anyone who is anyone tweets. Or...

so it seems.

But it shouldn't take a generation to get them out of the habit

5. I'm changing my...

... mind about Twitter. I'm a supporter of mainstream social media sites... maybe I still am, because this makes Twitter far less than mainstream. I was going to be inactive there... but I think it's time to EXIT. The number of members, and the sort of members, does matter.

6. Glad I killed my Facefuck and Twittler accounts 2 years ago.

8. Mr Bonesaw Arabia also bought the largest refinery in the US

MF45 helped that happen.

9. I posted over a month ago that musk will use $$$ from nefarious sources

And that he will have to do them favors. Many in here told me that was BS. That musk doesn't need others money for the purchase.

10. It would be even more fitting, then, for Twitter to crash and burn

As it seems to be doing

[2naSalit]

11. Slam it...

Into the side of a mountain and call it done.

Everyone, including employees should leave by Monday.

[Cyrano]

12. Seems Musk isn't giving them a choice

Over a hundred got notified by their personal emails that they had been terminated.

Elon Musk. Whatta' guy. He should have gone to Mars with his Tesla that's on the way there.

[2naSalit]

14. I wish he had gone there too.

I swear at him every time I see one of those starlink fucking things in the sky.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

13. It is a little more complicated that saying "Saudi Arabia."

The investor is Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who has for many decades made massive investments in projects around the world.

Prince Alwaleed bin Talal was among those "jailed" by MBS, if one can apply the term "jailed" to forced confinement in a luxury hotel.

[WarGamer]

15. This is fairly misleading...

Alwaleed owned a 4.45% stake in Twitter BEFORE the buyout...

TODAY...

The Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund owns 1.9% of MuskTwitter.

And that's not really the 2nd largest investor...

It's the second largest AFTER Musk AND several banks and Hedge Funds...

[Celerity]

18. +10000 The quality of OPs here has taken a nosedive. Far too often no links/proof, + false framings.

[sl8]

20. I agree.

This Reuters article lists the lenders and also the equity investors.

[BlackSkimmer]

16. So did P Diddy.

Fascinating.

[ananda]

22. Eloon doesn't care if Twitter fails.

With Saudi backing, he's just using it to influence
the elections.

23. I'm trying to get kicked off with this
