Larry Ellison Is a ‘Shadow President’ in Donald Trump’s America
“Perhaps 10 years ago, he said to himself:” I want Marco Rubio to be president, “said the same source.
Many players first began to hear from Ellison to speak in the period before the 2024 presidential primary of the 2024. At that time, after years of donation to both parties, Ellison was considered internally as Trump a small favor by promising his financial support to Senator Tim Scott, a Republican of South Carolina. My sources considered Scott as a solid VP competitor, if a slight long shot. He was considered harmless to the worst, and at best a potential insurance policy in the event of a prolonged primary campaign – a potential spoiler candidate capable of drawing the support of his competitors, in particular his Carolinian compatriot from South Nikki Haley.
“His involvement with GOP politicians like Tim Scott was an aperitif,” said a second familiar Republican with Ellison’s political activities, “and Trump is the main course.”
Tiktok, paramount, ai – oh my
Ellison, who is almost two years older than Trump, put the foundations for the successor to his family empire. The weight of his heritage falls on the shoulders of his 42 -year -old son David.
Formerly a budding actor, David played a key role alongside James Franco in the drama of the First World War 2006 Flyboys– that he also partially funded. When his career on the screen did not take off, he thought he would be better not only behind the camera but in the following C.
David’s known political gifts were entirely to the Democrats. But he is not known to have the same tactic as Larry.
“This is the exhausting part of this one,” said a member of the campaign staff who is aware of the awareness of donors involving the Ellison family, describing David as someone who has worked with the confidence of a business magnate despite, when they interacted, being born one. “I have treated with a lot of people throughout my career who are nepo babies. Some people feel like they are full -fledged magnates. ”
This source – which, like others, asked anonymity to speak frankly about the political influence of the Ellison family – said the nepo babies of ultra rich in two camps: there are those who have problems with pet politics and the desire to shape their inheritance through a certain notion of making a difference, and there are those who want to accumulate power and influence for their own sake.
“He was still part of this last group.”
The representatives of Larry and David Ellison did not return any comments.
While my Trumpworld and Republican sources that have dealt with Larry Ellison’s political activities say that they are more or less believing in most of their key questions at this stage – particularly visible in its support for the Israeli army, to improve “blue cities”, and to its financial interests in the AI industry – the least well -known appearance of his heiress.
With a domestic iteration still vaguely described by Tiktok and dozens of television channels, news to entertainment entering the family portfolio, it remains to be seen if David Ellison will become a Murdoch type figure, establishing the agenda of modern Gop and the control of properties occupying the first place of the ecosystems of the conservative media in the way Fox news decades.
