The donation by David Ellison backing President Joe Biden is a coup for allies of the incumbent Democrat, who will face Donald Trump in the November election.
Also the possibility that the son knows his dad is a dick, and knows one of the best ways to stick it to his old man is to donate some of his own nepo-baby money to something that is in direct opposition to his dad’s donations.
They forced tiktok to store all their data on Oracle’s servers, and I’m sure Oracle gets billions of dollars in government contracts through other ways as well. Some of that’s flowing back to the politicians that will continue to make those decisions.
Or it could just be that the son isn’t a conservative dickhead and wants the correct choice to win, everything doesn’t have to be some weird conspiracy (though sometimes it is ofc)
To quote George Carlin: it’s a big club and you ain’t in it…
Just rich people looking out for the interests of rich people. That economy Biden is being praised so much for? The stock market, 90%+ of which is owned by the richest 10%.
Larry Ellison, who historically has been a
major Republican donor, has not made a
single federal political donation so far in
2024, records show. Ellison donated
more than $ 3 I million to GOP
candidates during the 2022
congressional midterms, according to
data from OpenSecrets.
I suspect the family is intentionally sending a message. Lbr, having the son of a proud republican donate to the most neoliberal candidate of 2020/4 isn’t going to be taboo among any of the wealth. Many may donate to “both” sides even. This isn’t a son snubbing his father, this is a wealthy family of influence that have the bare minimum of human decency to not pay to have chaos in the white house again.
You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. - Bryan Cantrill
I wonder what the angle is here…
Or maybe it’s a hedge play. Have son donate to Democrats. Shitty father continues to donate to GOP.
Or maybe son is angling for a tech regulation to break up father’s empire. In the fallout, he secures a larger piece of his fathers empire.
Donate both ways, guarantee winning.
Its common practice for the wealthy to play both sides. You would see a lot more of it if you could trace all the dark money.
