Tesla investor Leonidas Raisini says Saudi royals & Emir of Qatar told Musk to find new Twitter CEO

Raisini, who has over $1 billion of Tesla stock, is NOT happy with Musk's incompetent behavior.

Just overheard Elon Musk discussing investment opportunities from the Amir of Qatar
@TamimBinHamad & other Saudi Royals for his businesses, specifically Twitter,but from their body language & diplomatic response, it didn’t seem very positive. They asked him to find a suitable CEO


Two of Raisini's earlier tweets today:




Elon Musk at the World Cup with @jaredkushner — son-in-law of Donald Trump who received a $2 Billion investment from a Saudi Arabian fund led by Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman. Twitter’s second largest shareholder is a Saudi Arabian Prince. A lot of coincidences here 🤔





Elon Musk with Turkish President Erdogan at the Qatar World Cup. What possibly are they planning ? 🤔 why is Elon meeting with Middle Eastern leaders and raising funds for Twitter ?



And he tweeted this two days ago:




If @elonmusk suspends my Twitter account, I will donate my #TSLA shares ($1.420 Billion) to @SECGov to do everything in their power to prosecute this Fraud.

He's the rat's escort. He doesn't look pleased to be there. Kind of like the guy on Weekend Update who was moonlighting for Aunt Pat only enjoying it far less. Ratlo needs a token white boy to go talk to these Arabs who are pissed at him while he begs for cash, somebody they actually pretend to like... for the moment.

And he got away with it.

By criminal standards he is successful.

Vote yes or no on whether he should step down. Who knows what anything really means but right now it’s heavily in favor of “GTFOH”

Tomorrow we'll find that "users" overwhelmingly want him to stay.
If I'm wrong, I'll actually be happy about it.

Or maybe they gave him a plan for what they wanted twitter to be, and he screwed it up.

The Musk saga is pretty fascinating to me. Overconfident arrogant guy fucking around and finding out.

Good question about Russia. I guess we’ll find out eventually.
