Saudi Arabia had been flooding American tech companies with cash since 2018.

Twitter was just one example of anti-democracy oil oligarchs hijacking tech.

Kushner's $2 billion in Saudi sovereign funds isn't buying beach-front condos in Gaza, it's being spent on torpedoing tech brands like Microsoft.

Google, Apple, Oracle, Amazon, Microsoft, all had MBS visit in 2018. The investments continued after the Khassoghi murder & its accelerated in recent months.
