• Larry Ellison’s Spider Web / Stargate, CBS and CNN, TikTok, Marco Rubio, Tony Blair and Gaza!

Ellison bloviating at the White House, the billionaires' home.

Larry Ellison founded Oracle decades ago, and through that became a multi-billionaire. The latest estimate puts his net worth at US$344 billion, after he ramped Oracle stock with an utterly unbelievable deal with OpenAI to get Oracle stock that “AI” premium. Like so many of the new oligarchs that are as much stock pumpers and rentier monopolists as providers of any real beneficial products these days. Everything to keep the discourse of endless growth alive; without which their stock prices would be far, far lower.

With that kind of money, and with the great aid of the members of the US Supreme Court, Ellison can easily buy politicians. Previously Ellison had been the classic oligarch who donated to both political parties which are in reality two different wings of the oligarch-owned political machine. But in the past decade that changed. In 2016 he donated millions to the 2016 losing presidential campaign for presidency of Little Narco Rubio; now the US Secretary of State, who was vetted by Ellison for that position. In 2020 he hosted a fundraising dinner for Trump’s re-election campaign. He then poured tens of millions of dollars into the failed presidential campaign of Tim Scott.

He helped fund Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, with Musk removing the Twitter ban on Trump, but did not take an active part in the 2024 presidential election. Then just after Trump’s inauguration he became part of the AI Stargate initiative with the CEO’s of OpenAI and Sofbank, announced in the Whitehouse with Trump. It is supposedly going to invest US$500 billion in AI infrastructure by 2029. Since then he has had very open and regular access to the president. In late September OpenAI announced five new data centre sites to be provided by Stargate, bringing Stargate to 7GW of planned capacity and US$400 billion plus of investments over the next three years. In reality, no one has a clue how such capacity can be built in the allotted time (it can’t) and how that massive amount of money will be raised (it won’t). Earlier in September, OpenAI signed a contract for US$300 billion worth of computing power over five years; and again no one has a clue how the data centre’s will be built in time and how the hell that amount of money will be raised. No worries, Oracle’s stock went up 30% in a day; massively adding to Ellison’s wealth. Its all part of the circular merry go round of AI bubble hype:

 

With stock prices being levitated by more and more unbelievable deals that assume US$1 trillion in financing and a slew of data centres that simply cannot be built in the time available. But that doesn’t stop the share prices of all involved being levitated; for now.

So now that Ellison has joined Musk in the stock-pumping with bullshit business, he also joined Musk in the media and political manipulation businesses. His son has recently purchased Paramount, that owns Paramount Pictures and CBS. Following on from his father’s true love of the Zionist regime (daddy Ellison’s parents are Jewish, and although he dropped the Jewishness he kept the Zionism), the son has installed a Zionist “ombudsman” at CBS and is about to make an uber-Zionist propagandist very rich and in editorial control of CBS. A bid for Warner Brothers Discovery is now rumoured, which owns CNN. With Larry himself now looking to also be a joint owner of the putative deal to spin off a TikTok USA, the Ellison family will very rapidly become an ultra neoliberal Zionist media baronial powerhouse. And all of the major social media platforms (Meta: Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Threads; Alphabet: Google, YouTube; Snapchat: Snapchat; Advance Publications: Reddit; Amazon: Twitch; X Corp: X) will be owned/controlled either by Zionists or by someone who was reminded that he needs to be a dutiful Zionist (Musk). And CBS and CNN will be made even more into the propaganda arm of the Zionist regime and a US oligarchy that is moving hard right toward open techno-fascism.

But that is not enough for Larry! He also decided to buy ex British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) with GBP 270 million donated and pledged; massively increasing the resources of the TBI. In the 2010s Blair had sold himself to a Kazakh dictator for a measly GBP 16 million pounds; his money-grubbing has gone up in the world!

And lo and behold, the proposed neocolonial future of Gaza is based on a plan put forward by the “independent” TBI and Mr. Blair himself is being proposed as the neocolonial Viceroy of Gaza! And now as an advisor to Trump, Ellison is being touted as a “Shadow President”; Musk blew it and now Ellison has stepped in.

IN TRUMPWORLD, LARRY Ellison gets more credit than anyone else for operating in the shadows.

Over a drink earlier in Donald Trump’s second term, one of the president’s advisers described the Oracle cofounder, chairman, and chief technology officer to me as a literal “shadow president of the United States,” if not necessarily theshadow president.

And Mr. Blair is a big pusher of the new UK digital identity rollout:

Documents seen by The Mail on Sunday reveal the former prime minister urged Business Secretary Peter Kyle to consult a technology institute founded by his friend Larry Ellison in a private meeting last year.

Mr Ellison, the world’s second richest man, has donated or pledged a staggering £257million for the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.

He founded the Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT), a research centre in Oxford, and is chairman of tech giant Oracle, which has a £700million IT deal with four Whitehall departments.

Experts say Oracle is now in pole position to profit from plans to force millions of adults to sign up for a digital ID card.

Now Mr. Blair isn’t one to turn up any corrupt money-making opportunity using his old right wing Labour boys network. His son Euan, after earning a 2:1 honours degree from Bristol University incredibly got a US$100,000 scholarship for an MA at Yale! Euan was then able to create a startup, Multiverse, that has lost money every year while repeatedly receiving major funding; valuing Euan’s stake in the company at GBP 420 million. While also getting an MBE for “services to education”, after his company fed off the government subsidy and contracting trough. And which company will be providing the UK digital id app? Multiverse. Nothing like keeping corruption in the family.

Seems that Ellison is out-Musking Musk these days (and Blair is out-Clintoning the Clintons)! The Ellison spider web has certainly exploded in recent years! Say hello to a member of the small oligarch coterie that truly rules America; elections are nice but they are just for show. As is anti-trust legislation and “the constitution” when Supreme Court Judges can be bought for some luxury vacations and a few gifts worth all of a couple of million dollars; not even chump change to a multi-billionaire. And so many of those justices previously worked in private practices serving corporate entities and the rich; courtiers to the rich. It’s Back To The Future for the New Age of the Robber Barons!
