Two weeks ago, Saudi Arabia sentenced a 72 year old American citizen to 16 years in jail for tweets critical of the regime he sent while in America. This week, the Saudis partnered with Elon Musk to buy Twitter. Do you think the Saudis bought it to promote free speech?

I think the Saudis bought it as a cheap investment with big upside and small downside. Innuendo is cheap.

Saudi Arabia certainly isn't going to promote democracy! ... Is anyone in our Government Awake and Paying Attention???? Shouldn't a Foreign Government buying a Major Newspaper, a Major TV Station or a Major Social Media company in the US be Illegal????

so the Saudi's ALREADY owned all those shares and instead of selling them to Elon, they rolled their investment? What is supposed to be spooky here?

The Soudis were “partnered in” prior Elon becoming the largest investor. Why the sudden concern?

Follow the money. And there you will find greed, fascism, and corruption. Musk is shoulder-deep in it.

Or it’s just a great investment right now as opposed to prior. Whoah!!!!
