Why Are We Listening To Him?
It has been accurately reported that Larry Ellison is one of the top five contributors this election cycle to the candidacies of the major election deniers. Given that fact, why would anyone listen to anything he has to say about the future of Western civilization when he doesn't believe in Western style democracies or the fundamental principles on which they are based? Having worked for this man for 6 years in the early 2000s, I experienced THE most toxic work culture of my entire career. Now he appears bent on taking that culture from inside the four walls of Oracle and implanting it into American politics. The most important thing we can do with regard to American oligarchs like Larry Ellison (and Elon Musk, etc), is to deny them a platform and not listen to a word they say. They should really all go to their private islands, sit quietly in the corner and count their billions, and not try to "buy" the American government..
