    Wait, isn’t Skydance this ultra-merged almost monopolistic media conglomerate? Don’t they do these mergers to become better at raking in money, not worse? It seems not only the government but also capitalism in this country is fucked up, even by its own standards.

      Ellison seriously over-extended himself and bought a debt-ridden studio with another debt-ridden studio with - wait for it - even more debt!

      Seriously, it only makes sense when the ultimate plan is to turn it into an AI slop spewing fascist propaganda machine. So Musk investing makes total sense in that regard.
