Calling Elon a criminal is a going a bit far perhaps. But he does own it still.


I did not call Elon a criminal and I do not think he is. I was specifically referring to Warren Buffett and a saudi prince, among other individuals on Twitter's former board of directors.


Is it better to be privately owned by criminals?

One of the parties that owns X Corp is Saudi Arabia, who famously don't see a problem with assassinating dissidents.


Let us not forget the US too, which famously also tortures and has had at least 9 men “die in custody” in Guantanamo Bay. Men that haven’t had a trial and are effectively there because they’re dissidents.


The US owns a part of X Corp?


“Saudi Arabia” investing in something in more analogous to an extremely large private equity firm than a country. There is no democratic input or accountability involved
