This should not be surprising to anyone -- if you consider the following:

> During the 1970s, after a brief stint at Amdahl Corporation, Ellison began working for Ampex Corporation. His first project included a database for the CIA, code-named "Oracle".

Video: Billionaire Larry Ellison pulled over for speeding

I don't like these videos, little benefit. Only thing here: If he wants to start surveillance we should start on him and he should publish it all, so we can monitor him (incl. publication of all financials so we can monitor for financial crimes as well)

Our billionaires are one of our nation's resources and we need to treat them as such. They should have government protection at all times, watching and keeping them safe. Making sure they don't take excessive risks (speeding, driving fast/dangerous cars/boats/etc). Making sure their bodies stay healthy (protect them from drugs/poisoning/heavily prosecute anyone who introduces dangerous chemicals/drugs/alcohol to enter their bodies). They should have a strict healthy diet (food pyramid and only sourced from out safest corporate products, not non-standardized non-corporate food). Testing any sexual partners in advance to ensure no diseases are transferred and publicizing all sexual acts so that the sexual liaisons can't be weaponized against them.

It's time America take our billionaire national resource seriously and implement basic sane/intelligent protections. For the good of society.

Ellison is in the CCP?
Billionaires and totalitarian ruling parties both pretend that they’re polar opposites, but they’re mostly two sides of the same coin.
