Elon bought twitter with the help of the Saudis, so go ahead and tell me how helping out the family that funded 9/11 is somehow fighting al-qaeda

The Saudis were already an owner of Twitter before Elon Musk. In fact they were the largest.

But if you need another reason here’s a dead simple one. All that Saudi money invested in Twitter and musk, at least isn’t going somewhere else to fuel more nefarious things.

I think everyone in the (us) could serve to take a breath, and turn things down and notch or two. We all care about our country and want the best things for it. We just disagree about how to get there and I'm willing to de-escalate when I can in hopes that reciprocity will follow and civility can regain a foothold

To quote the film How High:
