Ah, sorry. I read your comment backwards.

Of course confiscating UAE assets would be a gigantic escalation and will never happen. 😔

Do they have anything other than oil?

The problem is, that the studies on glyphosat are way too small. As far as I know it is not particularly cancerous. That is other weed killers are worse. But Monsanto who did these studies and Bayer who bought Monsanto and miscalculated the risks; they did a poor job with these studies, which caused this massive confusion and are therefore largely to blame themselves for the disaster.

Here is a good video on the topic. It's in German, though: https://youtu.be/2K0TAphTfaI?si=rXimwbUfEY51fSdq

It’s probably safe to assume the studies saying it doesn’t were bought and paid for by Bayer

This btw. is how it works. You have a product you want to bring to the market, so you have to prove it's safe. It's the regulator's job to decided if the provided evidence is enough.

Btw. this was not an IPO, but a reverse-merger using a SPAC. That way the company going public doesn't have to adhere to the SEC's strict IPO regulations.

She continued: “Elon made it clear that he did not want to talk about Nevada’s death. I didn’t understand this, just as he didn’t understand why I grieved openly, which he regarded as ‘emotionally manipulative’.

This is horrible.

it might look completely different and way better in 2024 and we're currently only having a temporary skewed statistic

The graph in the blog post does not suggest that. Sure it may very well fall next year, but not by much. Also, $7 trillion is just so much money. To put that into context, a quick search suggests ending world hunger would cost $330 billion. In total, not per year.
