Not surprising to anyone who remembers that the saudis gave Elon the money needed to buy Twitter. Naturally they have an anti democratic interest in it
The article isn't about Musk
Correct. This is largely for a time pre Musk.
Back in those innocent times when they were just murdering journalists and cremating them in barrels.
The major connection of SA to twitter before Musk was Prince Alwaleed but it doesn't add up because he was one of those being purged by MbS..
Lol I'm being downvoted. That's hilarious
Most folks read comments before articles. Unless you’re more specific about timeframe you’ll fall into the same trap as folks commenting before reading as well.
That being said when an apartheid, blood emerald silver spoon sucking moron takes over twitter and proceeds to ban speech as a “free speech absolutist” all while racist, vile, toxic bullshit floods the platform it’s not weird that people make a connection.
It’s not accurate per this article but I think all of this, people’s comments, the article, the context… it is outlining a pattern that this dipshit is absolutely a part of.
A desperate attention seeking piece of shit taking Saudi money to do the thing isn’t too far off from this article about saudis doing the thing. Though it’s not apt , it’s kinda related.

Fixed that for you.

You’d think that part is clear enough. Yet you are upvoted and I am downvoted. The internet speaks
Well, I'm certainly guilty of not reading the article. You got an upvote from me though.
I should stop browsing and posting last thing at night after having a couple of beers.
But that’s when the good shit comes out.
No, but it establishes how useful a tool a Twitter you control is to crushing dissent. Which explains why they helped Musk buy it - as bad as Twitter’s previous management may have been, they at least tried to appear honorable. Musk is really leaning into the authoritarian bootlicker thing, so I’m sure he’s eager to get Tesla programmers in there to find new ways to hunt down dissidents.
The statement is still true, though? They got value out of it previously so they would be happy to float money to Elon to keep it useful for them.
