The X-platform subsequently began big contracts with Oracle.&nbsp; Twitter\u2019s fate is now intrinsically linked to Ellison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that scale of GFY money now steadfast backing him, Elon Musk not only had breathing room, but he also had the ability to take big risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After testing the water with DeSantis, likely stirred by Ellison taking a peek, it became obvious the best play was to fully support Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Week after week, as President Trump solidly gained position for next week\u2019s election, Elon Musk leaned in further and deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elon Musk is now the biggest influence operation in the 2024 MAGA movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a direct consequence of Musk\u2019s position, Larry Ellison -by extension Oracle- is now easily positioned to be the biggest beneficiary of a Trump win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ellison is the biggest influence operation; but as all influence and leverage operations go, he\u2019s also the quietest influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Larry Ellison (Oracle) is the hand on the Elon Musk Marionette.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> All Musk moves are with this background alignment as the underpinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a Trump victory next week becoming more and more predictable, the biggest loser was set to be Larry Ellison\u2019s billionaire competitor,&nbsp;<strong>Jeff Bezos<\/strong>&nbsp;(Amazon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeff Bezos needs to position himself to avoid being totally shut out from White House influence ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The non-endorsement was the first move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shift in ideological alignment within the Washington Post (article above) is the second move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bezos is mitigating and strategizing risk.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what is going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are not media outlets in your traditional frame of reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are influence operations aligned with the interests of the billionaires behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a game of thrones thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each interest has their own advocacy group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what you would call \u201cmodern media\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bezos has the Washington Post, Ellison positioned himself with Twitter;
