    It’s hard to believe, but Ellison is worse than Musk. Musk is a lot like Trump, he wants love and respect, even though they are far too psychopathic to really understand what those things are, and they think that having money and acting tough will make people love and respect them.

    Ellison doesn’t seem to care about that. He’s a mean, cruel person, who seems to enjoy being that way, and like Fred Trump, he raised his son to be as much a psychopath as he is.

    Musk is dangerous, but he is too stupid and impulsive, and it blunts his impact. Ellison is far smarter, and far more effective. He’s not quite as rich as the rest, but at a certain level, who can really tell? It’s all just wretched excess after about $100 bill anyway. But even so, now that he owns CBS and Paramount, and is trying a poison pill takeover of Warner Discovery, he’ll be in the upper reaches very soon, jockeying for position at in the top rankings

    And I doubt he will stop at CBS/ Paramount and Warner. Larry Ellison is going to control a massive amount of the media in the this country, and he is a massive MAGA, of the worst kind. There are supposed to be government controlled limits on media ownership, but all rules are elastic under MAGA, and he’ll be allowed to own anything he wants. Don’t be surprised if he ends up owning all broadcast TV, and then he controls the narrative for all political campaigns, election results, news programs, debates, etc. No candidate gets promoted on TV unless MAGA allows it.
