A data company is quietly becoming America’s most powerful unelected institution.
When Oracle Corporation, a company up until now only associated with boring enterprise software, missed both earnings-per-share and revenue targets in September, something strange happened.
Its stock soared.
In a single trading day, Oracle’s market value jumped by over 50%, adding more capitalization in eight hours than the entire market value of McDonald’s. The company that once sold databases to bureaucrats suddenly became Wall Street’s next AI messiah.
Why? Because Oracle, the quiet backbone of the digital world, has both become the new frontier of artificial intelligence infrastructure and is simultaneously seizing control over America’s arguably most influential Social Media platform ever, TikTok.
The man responsible for orchestrating this takeover is Oracle’s billionaire founder, Larry Ellison.
This is a story about a man who has long believed the world runs on a single ledger: power. And on that ledger, he intends to sit at the top.
