Instead, #Trump went to Florida, where he visited his Doral golf resort, which was hosting the #Saudi-backed #LIVGolf tournament, & stayed at his Mar-a-Lago club, where many tournament fans & sponsors were staying too. His private businesses took precedence over the business of the nation.

It’s been eight years since the #Saudi authorities arrested Youssef al-Manasif.

He was tortured and sentenced to death for protest-related charges—some dating back to when he was just 15.

Pentagon's accounting error from 2018 (still not recovered the funds from the Saudis): "...undercharged Saudi Arabia and the UAE by $36 million for jet fuel and another $294 million in flight hours for U.S. tanker aircraft that refueled Saudi and Emirati warplanes in midair"
"Saudi and Emirati jets...besides actual military targets, bombed hospitals, schools, marketplaces, and weddings"
Guess who footed the bill ...Yes, the US taxpayers

The space #Nazi wrote that the all-stock deal values 'xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt)".

Given that the realistic value of #X was more like negative $6 billion, it's more realistic that the Nazi has scammed other #xAI investors by dumping X's debts onto them, while paying off his co-investors in X, dodging taxes, and reducing his risk of a margin call that could wipe out his entire net worth.

Given that his largest co-investor in the X buyout was a #Saudi prince, he probably also greatly reduced his risk of getting kidnapped and sawed into pieces.

Xitter was bought at the inflated price tag of over $40Bn.

Every time you see a billionaire buying something at an outraging over the top price it is a money laundering operation.

#LoneSkum bought #twitter with a mix of #tesla stock, #russian money and #saudi money.

They were losing the online information game, and decided to buy the place where it was happening, instead. At the same time, they laundered a lot of $ into the US political game.
