In the context of tech, KSA has a massive amount of wealth that they’re trying to diversify into other sectors to avoid civil unrest over the next 50 years when oil usage is decreased.
So, don’t take VC money funded by KSA?
It’s not that simple. You may never know where the money you’re accepting is coming from.
While I find the actions of MBS and the assassination to be morally reprehensible, you should be aware that the US has a storied history of extrajudicial assassinations. Further, dissidents who have spoken out against the government in the form of leaking of classified information are routinely jailed for 20 years, which is IMO akin to a death sentence.
