Oh my, ol larry might even have to return the island of lanai to the people who live there

And nothing of value was lost.

Don't give me hope.

I wonder how they're going to do that when their Gulf-based investors are currently liquidating anything that can be moved before stashing it under the proverbial mattress.

Fingers crossed!

Been listening to people argue 'rich people earn their money by making smart decisions' while rich people drive the economy into iceberg after iceberg, but this is an absolutely goggling amount of money to be on the hook for, even for one of them. Dude for real went all in on magic beans.

I see a math error: Four years of 250% growth compounds to ~3900%. Four years of 178% compounds to ~1000%.

All I ask is that there are enough Dems in at least one chamber to block any kind of bailout for Oracle

This is what dreams are made of

Extremely curious how this plays out as someone who works at a hospital dependent on the old, bad Oracle R12 for accounting, logistics and HR. As much as I would love to force the issue of jettisoning this 1990s-ass software, I don't enjoy the thought of having to deal with it.

Don't threaten me with a good time 😀

I guess Larry is fucked

Please 🙏 make it fails

Lucky for Larry he's 137 years old.

It’s likely that closes before this explodes

Is Oracle not looking at building its own little nuclear power plant? Are not all of the tech giants doing this now? Granted, it can't be done overnight - but it's been in train for some time now, I think. Can't be far away?

Ellison is 81. He's probably not too worried about how much money he'll have in the 2030s. He's more into being relevant until the end. But his heirs probably are worried.

Will be interesting to see who picks up what pieces…

It would be a shame if that didn't work out for him.

That just sounds like insanity.

Is that like where you make a bunny rabbit with your fingers and project it on the wall?

ISTR that most/all of his "charitable" contributions has been to some non-profit focused on life extension, which suggests he seems/wants to think he'll never have to deal with that.

Yeah I guess that’s a big part of it. Still.

Awesome

Ellison didn't wait for AI to happen — he spent years repositioning Oracle as the indispensable enterprise cloud layer betting exactly this compute demand would come. Stargate is that bet paying off. We documented the setup: https://billionairescrimes.com/dossiers/larry-ellison

Don't threaten us with a good time!

Its nice that there is an ulside to this whole AI bubble. Killing Oracle and wrecking ellison isnt "worth it" but....

🤞

GODDAMNIT ED STOP TEASING US

How do we make sure it fails?

They’ll get a government bailout.

🤞

2030? That's not soon enough! *waits faster*

I dunno, I might celebrate the destruction of Oracle just as passionately as I would if It Happened

gov will bail them. Larry won’t lose a single penny

"...Oracle dies, and destroys Larry Ellison's wealth."

Good.

Thoughts, prayers etc

God, we can only hope.

One can only hope

Those data center buildings will be excellent places to grow hydroponic vegetables once the AI bubble bursts and they have to abandon the buildings.

Lets gooooooo!

Any way to speed that up?

The thought of Ellison losing his wealth is a joyful indulgence I’m going all in on for the next few minutes. A gift to me.

… so, good news!

We have to consider whether WB, as a company, is carrying some kind of curse

Oh no!

Is there anyway by which I can help make this happen before 2030

praying for a speedy death for oracle

$852 billion? Is that all? Sounds achievable.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Speaking of Michael Burry, I rewatched The Big Short the other day. In the face of these numbers, it's positively quaint that the denouement has Steve Carrell learning his Morgan Stanley patron is exposed to the tune of $15B. 18 years ago, $15B was enough to bring Morgan to the brink of collapse.

That motherfucker will be dead of old age before the bill comes due.

Well that's a lot of dollaridoos
