Assuming he didn't expressly buy twitter to dismantle it as a credible outlet for whistleblowers while also crowding out leftist voices.

Is that why the Saudis bought in? Or was that just so they could help expand their sports tournaments on Trump's properties?

Probably a bit of both. The Sauds want post oil influince and oligarchs like seeing the poors focused on entertainment.
