The West is transitioning from neoliberal progressive totalitarianism to neoliberal conservative totalitarianism. While the economic logic of neoliberalism remains intact, the “progressive” veneer is being stripped away. Hardly a difficult task when its most degenerate and deranged expressions have been aggressively promoted, even imposed, for years at the expense of reason and common sense.

▪️Oligarchic realignment is hard to ignore. Figures like Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel etc. are centralizing control to support a new hegemonic narrative while liberal technocrats are being replaced with ideologically aligned operatives, often drawn from militarized or corporate backgrounds. Larry Ellison’s recent moves show a strategic convergence of tech, media, and politics—positioning him as one of the most influential figures in the U.S. power landscape. 👉The co-founder and chairman of Oracle donated $1 million to the Security Is Strength PAC, supporting warmonger Lindsey Graham’s 2026 reelection bid. This is his largest political donation since 2022. 👉Ellison has donated substantial sums to Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, a U.S.-based nonprofit supporting Israeli military personnel. 👉Ellison announced a $500 billion AI data center venture called Stargate, in partnership with OpenAI and SoftBank. The initiative was unveiled at a White House event alongside Trump, Sam Altman, and Masayoshi Son. 👉Oracle secured massive contracts tied to cloud and AI services, including a major partnership with OpenAI, fueling a surge in Oracle’s stock and Ellison’s net worth. 👉Ellison’s son, David, led the merger of Skydance Media with Paramount Global. Larry controls the entities behind this deal, effectively creating a new media super-conglomerate that includes Paramount+, HBO Max, and major Hollywood studios.
👉The Ellison family is preparing a majority-cash bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, aiming to consolidate even more media assets under their control.
👉Talks are underway to acquire The Free Press, with plans to install Bari Weiss in a leading editorial role at CBS News, which Skydance now owns.
👉Oracle, led by Ellison, is part of a consortium—including Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz—that will hold an estimated 80% stake in a new U.S.-based TikTok entity. Oracle will manage user data in Texas, and the board will be predominantly American.
Trump publicly supported Ellison’s involvement in the TikTok acquisition, stating, “I’d like Larry to buy it.” @LauraRuHK
