I think this definitely part of the thinking around Elon’s Saudi backing for Twitter. They’d be fine with killing it. But Twitter still has ten million signups/ month and almost every celebrity or brand on earth. As he’s turning it into a Nazi-making machine. And that’s even better for the Saudis.
My personal opinion: The Saudis (among others) saw EM as a useful idiot. They loaned him billions to take down a platform that was an archive for their crimes and atrocities by authoritarian regimes around the globe. They knew he’d fly it into the side of a mountain.

I don’t think that’s primarily why they’re interested in it. Remember that scandal when a twitter employee had been giving them access to data? Like 75% of Saudis have a Twitter account. It’s about monitoring their own citizens

Yeah definitely a huge part

I had always wondered about Elon and the Saudi money, but I don’t usually subscribe to conspiracy theories.

I don’t think there’s much need for theorizing when you’re this deep in the Elon, Kushner, Fox News business

They disinvested in Fox after 9/11 and repurposed it to finish us off.
