Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social

Larry Ellison gave $45M to support Trump's reelection in 2024. In return, Trump has given Ellison free rein to build more AI data centers and helped him gobble up companies like Paramount, WBD, and TikTok for his business empire. This is what oligarchy looks like.
