Larry Ellison is and has always been the most evil tech executive in the world, but most people have no idea who he is. Now he own TikTok and his son owns Skydance who owns Paramount (CBS) and soon Warner Brothers Discovery (possibly).

Ah c'mon now. Thiel is ghoul in chief. Ellison is vice ghoul at best. He's showing promise to take the big chair though.

"We're going to have supervision," Ellison said. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on."

He’s doing his best to win the big chair
