Notably, Liang Wenfeng, founder of quantitative trading firm High-Flyer and artificial intelligence company DeepSeek, was among the attendees. Meanwhile, Robin Li, founder of Baidu as well as Zhang Yiming, founder of ByteDance (TikTok's parent company), were not present at the symposium.

Does this mean Jack Ma has been rehabilitated or partially rehabilitated?
Biggest supporter means the biggest funder before and after he become President. and it is not just Saudi but the rest of Gulf Monarchies.
I give you enough info. you just need to correctly interpret JD Vance speech in Munich.
The financial ties between the Trump clan, in particular Jared Kushner, and Gulf royals are well known.
However, it's very much debatable just how much influence GCC elites exercise over Trump, regardless of the financial tributes they've ponied up.
Trump respects leaders like Putin and Xi because they can't be bought with money or forced to pay up.
On the other hand, the al Sauds, al Thanis, al Maktoums, and so on and so forth are effectively vassals paying protection money as far as Trump is concerned.

As for J.D. Vance, he was pretty clear in Munich: "What I worry about is the threat from within."
However by within Vance may have been referring to Europe's established political elites; their general agenda and policies or certain aspects thereof; the migrant populations struggling to integrate with Europe's indigenous white populations; a combination thereof; or something else all together.
I appreciate your efforts at candor, but to men of below average intellect like myself, the greatness of our MAGA overlords are more often than not simply beyond our mortal ability to "correctly interpret!"
