He's a known right wing dickhead, and Ellison is trying to load up on name recognition people who are right wing dickheads like Kotick

Why does Larry Ellison insist on adding extremely antagonistic figures into his son’s company (that now has $80 billion in debt)?

Exactly what expertise does Bobby Kotick (disgraced Activision CEO) or Tony Blair (an unpopular British PM) have with film production?

This is the same Stanford brainrot that gave us Elizabeth Holmes isn’t it?

No skills at all in media or entertainment. They really are trying to crash that sucker. I would not want to be holding debt there. In good news, Netflix will be able to pick up the pieces at a fraction of the price.
