What? Twitter is majority owned by Musk, by a very very large margin. Not that giving your info to Musk is any better than giving it to the Saudi government.

Musk’s purchase of Twitter was secured with funding from a number of investors, including Larry Ellison, the co-founder of software company Oracle, and Qatar Holding, which is controlled by Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund.

But bin Talal is the largest investor in it - and pretty much since Elon is so in debt, pretty much he and the banks are in control.

Less than 2B of the 44B was from bin Talal… They are the second largest investor behind Musk but there is a ginormous gap between first and second.
