    This has been going on for awhile. I’ve said it a few times. Saudi Arabia has been quietly buying up a ton of companies along with various Trump allies and sometimes outrighting funding those Trump ally companies.

    They invest in many Trump related companies as well as partnering with Russia’s Soverign Weath Fund.

    Everyone is so worried about China, they are letting Saudia Arabia buy up everything behind the scenes.

    I would trust a government that kills reporters, hangs out with Epstein, or likely helped fund 9/11 terrorist attacks.

    There’s a list of PIF investments in Wikipedia. PIF

      On the one hand we could imagine them clamping down on riske material and promote islamicism, but to be real having lived in the gulf for many years they care more about money than anything else. So prepare for more neoliberal enshittification.

      Because there’s money to be made by looking the other way. The “revolving door” is open to high level government bureaucrats and they want their payday after their “public service”

        They dislike everyone but their own, but they still get hard-ons for billionaires.
