Larry Ellison quietly gave $45 million to a pro-Trump group—then Oracle landed a starring role in a $500 billion AI buildout

Larry Ellison, Oracle's cofounder, quietly donated $45 million to a pro-Trump group, a move that appears to have coincided with Oracle landing a significant role in a $500 billion AI initiative. While other tech giants have been vocal supporters of Trump, Ellison's approach was more discreet, yet it seems to have paid off for his business and his son's media ventures. This raises questions about the intersection of political donations and corporate gains, highlighting a subtle but potentially influential aspect of lobbying and political influence in the tech industry.
