Original Note:
The "Saudis" did not "partner with Elon Musk to buy Twitter". Rather a single Saudi billionaire - Prince Alwaleed bin Talal au Saud - who owned a large stake in Twitter since 2011, chose to maintain his investment rather than selling it to Elon as part of Twitter's buyout. https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/saudis-kingdom-holding-company-maintain-twitter-stake-2022-10-28/ https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/oct/07/saudi-princes-investment-stake-twitter-alwaleed-bin-talal-kingdom-holding
