While Elon Musk is the biggest shareholder in Twitter, the second largest is a Saudi Arabia sovereign wealth fund called Kingdom Holding Company, which is controlled by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal .It also declined to comment on remarks made by two US Democratic Senators recently who have raised national security concerns about Saudi Arabia's investment in Twitter - and what it could mean for people who criticise the royal family.
Prince Alwaleed is the cousin of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman who has been accused by Western intelligence of ordering the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. The Saudi Crown Prince's own Public Investment Fund holds a sizeable stake in Kingdom Holding Company. Senator Chris Murphy said in a letter:"Setting aside the vast stores of data that Twitter has collected on American citizens, any potential that Twitter’s foreign ownership will result in increased censorship, misinformation, or political violence is a grave national security concern."
Musk is a disgrace.
The message was clear a few days ago…

Can we say words like 'bum' now without being executed?
