Microsoft uses Oracle, to give you a sense of scale.
Microsoft won’t, but Oracle… I’m having trouble figuring out what Oracle sells nowadays that is worth paying money for. Are there really that many companies still hooked on Oracle’s DB?

There’s no conclusive evidence it was Russian. It could just as likely be American, Chinese, Israeli, French, etc

The Ellisons don’t care, they’re in the media business now. They now control a sizeable portion of the news media, and as well as entertainment. It will bring in even more money, and also make them among the most influential people on the planet.

Oracle owns Cerner, the largest IT medical provider. No major competitor either, since they’re multinational and most competitors are single country or regional

Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t they also own TikTok in the US now?
