Thanks! I looked it up:
"Prince Alwaleed bin Talal agreed to roll over $1.9 billion worth of Twitter shares through his Kingdom Holding Company to Musk’s new private company, making him the second largest investor in Twitter. Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, owns nearly 17% of Kingdom Holding, according to Reuters.
Meanwhile, Qatar contributed $375 million for the financing of Musk’s Twitter purchase."

I wonder if they're happy with how their investment is going?
According to Forbes Alwaleed owned 95% of Kingdom Holding, but maybe that's changed.
Lol seriously doubt it
