Saudi Arabia arrests one of tech's biggest investors

• ryanx435 9y ago
  It's part of consolidation of political power within the ruling class of Saudi Arabia. They are arresting people who are not onboard witglh their 2030 vision to modernize their society and diversify their economy. The fact this guy was a large tech investor is inconsequential compared to his resistanc and opposition to the 2030 plan.

    If he's into tech and stuff, why isn't he on board with their 2030 plans if it's about modernizing society?

      Modernizing Saudi Arabia is more about religion than tech.

        Thank you. At the time I didn't want to go down the rabbit hole of looking all this up.

  At least one of the billionaire Princes was reportedly funding the antifa 'riots' on Nov 4. They have been locked up for corruption, and the money for the riot never appeared, thus people stayed at home. Saudi Princess have been buying up media for a while, most recently 'the independent' and 'Twitter'. They have been pushing their own ideological goals.
