- ceejayoz 2y agoTwitter already laid off 80-90% of staff. It was already almost all gone, from SF's perspective.

- DonHopkins 2y agoAre you saying that Elon Musk is oily?

If you disliked former soviet oligarchs investing in property and football teams, the Saudis are there too. It's also exploring tourism. Western women are welcome to sun-bake around pools in designated areas of KSA. It's only local women who are under stricter controls.
