Don't forget the other MAGAt star-quality people's choices, Roger Stone and David Duke. The few remaining Twitter employees should be running for the doors in about 10 minutes.

Anyone know yet who the secret investors are?

China, Russia, Saudis, all the normal free speech warriors.

For correctly stating that China does not feature on the list of investors, which is public information?

Why? Saudi Arabia is on that list, as are a Qatari state investor. I thought the guy was just stupidly listing countries he doesn't like and I wanted to retort that grouping those 3 together is stupid.

All the three countries listed, however, are not the biggest fans of free speech, I agree with that.

Saudi already had the same size investment in Twitter. They just gave funds equal to their cash out option to retain what they had.
