You think Saudi Arabia is just going to let their toy collapse? They shit the money it takes to run that site every day.

I'm of the opinion they want it dead. Twitter was used to organize protestors during The Arab Spring. The House of Saud hasn't forgotten that. 40 billion is a small price to pay to keep the peasants in their place. They gave Musk the money knowing he would drive it into the ground, intentionally or not.

Great. Let them continue to waste their money as they sink into irrelevance in a petrochemicals less dependent world.

They should put that money into r&d and education instead. They won't, though. They will build vanity projects.
