This is just crazy. No single person should have this amount of power, in particular if they have the moral integrity of Larry Ellison...

  Genuine question: what do you think the alternative is? Ultimately someone will have the power. I don’t know what’s particularly questionable about Larry Ellison. An entrepreneur controlling media seems better than the state or a foreign government.

    Is Larry Ellison owning TikTok objectively better for US citizens than the current Chinese owners?

    It less about who and more about how many. Lots of different people, with different points of view, sharing control of the media is way better than one guy having the ability to push whatever narrative they feel like at the time.
