Paying for something that’s free is dumb AF.
She also answers directly to Larry Ellison, instead of there being about 5 people between them like normal.

This is like how mcdonnell douglas bought boeing with boeing’s money.
Larry Ellison > Larry Ellison’s son > Skydance Media > Paramount > The Free Press > CBS
Larry Ellison is on a mission to control American’s through Media manipulation. That is not hyperbole. Larry Ellison is the scariest man in tech.
Oracle = One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
Don’t forget Tik Tok! He is indeed a dangerous man…globally, not just America - he’s part of the trump/starmer deal, with oracle building a data centre over here in the UK, and in line for setting up and storing the data for starmer’s enforced digital ID plans - fuck that, fuck starmer, and fuck him.
Don’t forget Tik Tok!
Oh fuck…I indeed forgot. The fact that he has so much reach and nobody’s noticed is crazy.
His next quest is buying Warner Bros to get CNN
Ellison may not be done expanding Skydance’s journalism portfolio. He is reportedly preparing a bid for Warner Brothers Discovery, which owns the cable news giant CNN.
It isn’t just news. The scary part of what Ellison is doing is the potential influence on the media we consume. It is not a far fetched idea to imagine shows and movies coming out of Paramount and Warner Brothers slowly beginning to tilt ever so slightly to the right until we find ourselves beginning to accept things that we once might have found offensive.
Media is pervasive and it has a very real ability to color the perception of the masses.
Let’s not forget Peter Thiel
make sure there’s space in the rocket we’ll be firing into the sun for him too
It’s much easier from a delta-v point of view, and has much the same effect lethality wise, to fire them into Jupiter or even Venus.
I’ll grant that it would be easier, but as a counterpoint, do we care if it successfully hits the sun? I’m pretty sure they’d die even if we missed.
For sure but Thiel, Musk and the rest of the silicon valley are nowhere near as scary as Ellison. They are loud and clumsy buffoons. Even now there’s very little coverage putting a spotlight on Ellison’s slow and quiet takeover of American media, even though he’s the second richest person on the planet.
From what I’ve read, Thiel is possibly the most dangerous of them all - in a nutshell, he’s a fucking psycho, working in the shadows.
He’s currently promoting the dangers of the anti-christ coming to disrupt what he considers technological ‘progress’…he’s even suggested Greta Thunberg is the anti-christ!
That might sound mad, but I suspect there is method in his madness.
I am less afraid of a raving lunatic than I am a highly intelligent, determined, ruthless and calculating son of a removed. Thiel’s Palantir is dangerous but Oracle is far more pervasive.
The right answer is to drop them both into the volcano.
Absolutely!
I am personally not specifically worried about how far past the “holy shit they should disappear into the sun” line each of them are, or their rankings relative to that. Just that there are many past that line, and should they be yeeted into the giant blast furnace in the sky, the world would be better off.
Edit: Oh ffs autocorrect. Though if I turn it off I just end up with mpmdrmdr.
100%. Musk is obviously known by everyone at this point. Thiel tries to fly under the radar but is increasingly well known. Ellison is basically unknown outside of tech nerds and people who are terminally doom scrolling
I’d prefer to just bury them in soft peat for 3 months and recycle them as firestarters.
May they be equally successful.
