The thing is though is that anyone who lived through the internet of the 90s into today knows how quickly services come and go and how fast platforms can implode quickly or bleed out slowly into pointlessness. Buying ONE platform to kill it for untold billions of dollars seems like a REALLY bad investment with ZERO ROE. These [Saudis] are the upper echelons of society who can just blanket pass laws to outlaw software or hire the most sophisticated surveillance company [US Based] to backdoor their entire internet infrastructure to monitor those communication channels.

Killing twitter is just dumb and pointless at the end of the day.
