Some netizens claimed that this was fake news and said, "This was originally a joke post posted by a Thai netizen on Twitter, and some netizens followed suit, and one of them admitted that it was a joke." Another netizen said that "the huge benefits of winning in Saudi Arabia have been passed down from generation to generation, and in 2006, each person had $10 million to reach the top 8."
In addition, searching in Arabic for keywords such as Saudi Arabia, Rolls-Royce, World Cup, etc., could not find relevant reports from local media, and there was no authoritative account in Saudi Arabia on Twitter to publish online news.
