A REMINDER: Larry Ellison was a 100% flaming assh*le LONG BEFORE Elon Musk got his first hair plugs. [View all]

I'd say Ellison is WORSE THAN MUSK because he's been AT IT LONGER.

He sued the city of San Jose CA because they placed restrictions on how late at night he could land his private jet.

This inspired the riddle, "What's the difference between Jesus and Larry Ellison?"

(answer...Jesus doesn't think he's Larry Ellison).

I'd say Ellison sinking his talons into CNN (via ponying up the money for his nepo baby moron puppet son) is significantly more concerning than Musk destroying Twitter.

Even though there are people who "believe everything they read on the Internet," Twitter was getting bad vibes from the public at large for conspiracy theories when it was still called Twitter.

And folks on DU have an awareness of the "shift to the right" that CNN has made, but I'd say the general public still sees CNN as CNN and doesn't think too much about the whataboutism and Republican talking points guests.

Having Larry Ellison involved in the media is never a good thing. Never.
