Khashoggi: Elon Musk rules out new partnership with Saudis

The Saudi sovereign fund has already acquired almost 5% of Tesla. In the summer, the possibility of this investment increased. Now the man who founded Tesla admits that Jamal Khashoggi's case would make him think twice before accepting new Saudi funding.Jamal Khashoggi, it is remembered, was the Saudi journalist who criticized the regime that entered the Saudi consulate in October 2 and was never seen alive again.For weeks, Saudi authorities have issued different versions, but under international pressure - in particular Turkey - has already admitted that the killing was deliberate. Khashoggi was assassinated at the consulate and dismembered in an attempt to conceal the crime.In an interview with the Recode platform, Musk was asked about the Saudi investment and the particular journalist's case, which he characterized as "very bad."Asked whether he would accept additional Saudi investment, the businessman replied that he would now "probably not accept it," adding that the Saudi fund may have already sold its share of Tesla - something unconfirmed since, according to CNN, only from the 5% is that the shareholders have to disclose the percentage that holds.
