Or more to the point, with how much of twitter is owned by the Saudi government?

Twitter doesn't exist anymore (as of yesterday[1]), so the Saudis' ownership shares likely transferred to X Corp.

How much of X is now owned by Saudi Arabia is the real question.

Large shareholders were moved to equity upon purchase.

In other words..the Saudi you are referencing was a large shareholder of the “Old Twitter”.

That’s along the lines of “how much did Russia fund Facebook”

VTB (sanctioned bank) funded Facebook in the tune of $1bn. It also funded Twitter in 2011 for $191m.

People did care, and probably tried to tell you, but you probably weren't paying attention.

Ok, so to amend OP's original point:

Should Twitter come with a label as "state-owned" considering both the Qatari and Saudi governments hold a significant stake in the company?

Wait what?

Terrorist?

Al-jazeera is one of the most renowned news agencies in the world, finally giving an honest voice to the Arab and Islamic world, and they can do this because they don't rely on pleasing advertisers. What do you mean by anti-sentitic?

Just because someone makes a claim as part of their narrative does not mean the claim itself exclusively belongs to that narrative!

If that were the case, none of us should say anything at all.

Any sources about Qatar being a funder of terrorism? Other than Trump.
