This week has demonstrated that the tech “broligarch” who’s most influenced President Donald Trump’s second administration isn’t Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, or Marc Andreessen—it’s Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, the 80-year-old software tycoon who recently became the second-richest man in the world.
Just look at everything that’s gone his way. On Thursday evening, the Federal Communications Commission finally voted to approve Paramount’s $8.4 billion merger with fellow entertainment firm Skydance Media. The controversial, long-awaited deal only came about thanks to Paramount’s appeals to this administration: settling a baseless lawsuit that Trump brought against 60 Minutes for “deceptively” editing its Kamala Harris interview, pressuring subsidiary CBS News to shift its “balance” in a right-wing direction, and canceling presidential foe and beloved comedian Stephen Colbert’s highly rated late-night talk show.
Of note: Skydance is owned by Ellison’s son, David, who personally met with both Trump and FCC Chair Brendan Carr to get the deal done. The elder Ellison is covering most of the cash to close the Skydance-Paramount merger, which will give him significant control over the new company and a chance to carry out, as he detailed in federal filings, a wholesale transformation of CBS in his vision—including broadcasts of complimentary PSAs for Trump administration initiatives.

Calling it baseless when they paid that much is a crock. That means there was merit.
Larry Ellison - CIA. Hates American freedom
Is the most powerful woman in America Ghislane Maxwell?
Replacing Rachel Maddow. (kidding)
“And what did Bill do on the 19th trip to the Island?”
Yep.
Try again, Nitish.
You’re saying that Ellison hates the USA?
The most powerful man in America who has to beg Trump to ok a merger he could buy with pocket change? Um okay.
Anyway I hope they fix Star Trek.
Hmmm. Larry Ellison has a private island too. Coincidence?
Oh, brother!!!
“...a baseless lawsuit that Trump brought against 60 Minutes for “deceptively” editing its Kamala Harris interview...beloved comedian Stephen Colbert’s highly rated late-night talk show.”
Need a bigger barf bag to hold that gush-o-rama.
I stopped reading right there.
The elder Ellison is covering most of the cash
Nice to have a father who does this.
Me too!

Yeah.. he’s an extremist POS with a favorable view of authoritarian central control on the individual. If that’s not America hating, I don’t know what is.
I would luv to see Ellison (or his son), totally transform the cesspool that is CBS. However, I’ll believe it when I see it.
If he tries, all the “talent” will quit. But that will actually be a very good thing.
they’re gonna pull the plug on CBS News. You heard it here first.
