Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Saudis finance the deal to buy Twitter? Given the platform was used extensively by protesters during the Arab Spring, would it be worth it to them to pay for Musk to destroy it?

One Saudi holding (95% owned by a single dude) owns about 4%, so no, there isn't some nefarious Saudi plot here, Musk is just a fuck up.
