Elon Musk, Jared Kushner and a Bunch of Saudis Enter The World Cup…

Get ready for liberal heads to explode…

Elon Musk was spotted hanging out with Jared Kushner (and a bunch of Saudis) at the World Cup.

Definitely a LOT of Saudis.

Kind of an uneasy vibe in all the photos.

Perhaps they were stressed out by the game.

But I don’t think I’d be real comfortable standing next to all those Saudis…

Or next to Kushner for that matter.

Here’s the picture:

I love that caption: FUNDING SECURED.

That’s funny and basically true.

The Saudis have invested a LOT into both of these men:

Elon and Jared look….tense.

Terse?

Stressed?

Definitely not getting good vibes from this photo:

The Daily Mail had more details:

Elon Musk has been snapped pulling up to the Lusail City Stadium in Qatar to witness the hotly-antipated World Cup final between defending champions France and Argentina.

The Twitter CEO, who attended the final alongside former US presidential advisor and Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, posted a video from the stands moments before kick-off showing the impressive pyrotechnic display that followed the closing ceremony.

Twitter users poked at Musk for revealing his whereabouts just days after he temporarily suspended the accounts of several journalists for ‘doxxing’ him.

The Twitter owner on Thursday banned journalists from CNN, Washington Post, New York Times and other outlets after they reported on his decision to block an account charting his private jet use – though the accounts were immediately restored on Friday evening.

Musk had said the journalists doxxed him by revealing his private information; the journalists insisted that they had not published his address or location.

Several Twitter users quipped that Musk was ‘self-doxxing’, questioning why he decided to suspend accounts for revealing his private information and whereabouts before going on to do so himself just days later.

‘Is this real-time continuous doxxing?’ one person said, while another chipped in: ‘You should suspend yourself for revealing your location.’

But others pointed out that each individual has the right to share their own location on social media.

The Twitter owner has been a vocal follower of the World Cup in recent weeks, frequently tweeting about games, results and interacting with other social media users.

Tens of thousands of football fans wearing French and Argentinian colours gathered at Doha’s Lusail stadium on Sunday for the showdown between Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, both stars of Doha-owned Paris St Germain.

The throngs overcrowded Doha’s metro with Qatar Rail delaying access to the stations as a modest closing ceremony kicked off inside the stadium with dancers celebrating ‘A Night to Remember’. Thirty minutes before kick off, the stadium appeared three-quarters full.

The crowd watched Qatar’s air force planes flying over Lusail as the Gulf state also celebrated its national day, with thousands of police forces, including anti-riot units armed with water canons, securing the area.

Thousands also gathered outside the stadium to watch the game on giant screens: ‘We have no tickets. We are here for the national day and because the players might come out after the finish. We wanted to just see them,’ said Shafeek Mydheea, a tourist from Dubai standing in front of two rows of riot police outside Lusail metro station.

Argentina were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to a penalty successfully tucked away by their talisman Messi before Angel Di Maria finished off a fantastic team move.

Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 World Cup, which has been marred by controversy, was part of a carefully built strategy by the tiny but rich state to bolster its global influence.

The tournament has put its human rights record in the spotlight – including conditions for foreign workers who built those stadiums and conservative laws which ban homosexuality, restrict political expression and curb alcohol sales.
