Would you all read the fucking article? Yes, Elon sucks and is tanking Twitter, but all this is from stuff that happened in 2015, long before he bought Twitter.

Alghamdi's brother, Saeed Alghamdi, believes the case against his younger brother is actually meant to target him. Saeed Alghamdi is a well-known Islamic scholar connected to many of the kingdom's most prominent jailed critics. He left Saudi Arabia in 2013 and founded the Saudi rights group, SANAD. He now lives in exile in the United Kingdom.

Not clear its because of the Tweet

Yet all of the comments at the time I made my OP were going on about Elon like he did this.

it's almost like the Saudis fucking funded a huge portion of the funds phony stark used to buy twit. How about you stop cherry picking?

No. Look at all the comments though. Everyone is blaming Musk for it when the lawsuit is actually about the company before he bought it.
