Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Saudis finance the deal to buy Twitter? Given the platform was used extensively by protesters during the Arab Spring, would it be worth it to them to pay for Musk to destroy it?

That's a pretty big mischaracterization of the movie.
Ah, got it, thanks!
I didn't get that, why were they horrendous?
Mike Pence has all the charm and charisma of a Mike Pence. Good luck bud.
Bunkers have air vents, right?
It just sounds like a bunch of basement dwellers lucked out and got rich but nothing else changed.
It's a very polarizing movie for some reason. I really enjoyed it, so much that I've rewatched it a few times.
What I can't understand it that some people absolutely fucking loathe the movie, just visceral hatred, and I've never seen a good explanation as to why this is.
Is wanting something deeper whilst also wanting to be entertained not a thing?
Ah, that’s why I’m confused, I love the original but know nothing about modern ska.
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?
