MODERATORS
On today's episode of things clowns say, MBS.
Note. Mohammed Ben Sulayem is not the same person as crownprince of SA Mohammed bin Salman who is often referred to as MBS. Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has allegedly ordered the assassination of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Sulayem used to be referred to as "Ben" in the racing community but ever since his controversies started in the media, people have started calling him "MBS" lol
Or as I've seen recently in comments, Bohammed Sen Mulayem
I've referred to him as MBS since he took over the FiA. It isn't meant to spark controversy, they are literally his initials.
Idk if the replies about the MBS in Saudi Arabia are meant to be snarky, bring awareness, or if people are incapable of managing context clues for abbreviations.
I'm smoking weed about it.
