    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.

      Let’s not forget Peter Thiel

      make sure there’s space in the rocket we’ll be firing into the sun for him too

        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.

          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

          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.

        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.

      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.

        Oh fuck…I indeed forgot. The fact that he has so much reach and nobody’s noticed is crazy.
