Oracle is a surprising one. Larry Ellison is the Ur-right-wing techbro. I wish there was more about this.
Not that surprising, these sleazy characters don't trust each other as they're always looking for a way to betray each other for personal gain, so they assume others are too.
Also not a great idea to trust your legal stuff to companies that might just have it over to those other already characters, especially when you're likely doing illegal shit
Exactly, if I bring bullshit to a party, and the host tells everyone to eat it, I'm not going to associate with anyone who doesn't tell them to fuck off, even though I brought it to the table.
My thoughts exactly... isn't he the one supposed to make big bank from trumps AI project? Unless maybe he figured out that like most AI projects, it's all hot air and scams, and he discovered it would be set up in a way he'd be holding the bag and getting the blame.
Yeah, but would you want a law firm who caved to obvious bullshit that you might have been involved in creating to represent you?
You have to think of it has fiefdoms.
Just because they are currently liege of King Trump, doesn't mean that they don't want to have power themselves. If given a plain opening, they would become king themselves. They don't have loyalties, only compromise. Hence, they make sure to keep their own share of power close to have some form of resistance against the king.
Didn't oracle itself cave lol what is this timeline
Don’t worry, he has literally hundreds of other lawyers on payroll to choose from.
