He wants a federal cloud contract and perhaps a Supreme Court ruling on API design. There’s no amount of money in the world that would make me help Trump get re-elected. I can’t wait to tax this billionaire. https://t.co/lh4bZDlb1l

Imagine having billions of dollar and just not caring if the world burns. What more do they need? They spend all their time investing in life extension research because it would be so awful to die when you have so much cash. No amount of money is enough. There is no sacrifice. https://t.co/e0wYtrdxpe

--->"Ellison will host supporters on a golf outing at his Porcupine Creek home. For $100,000, supporters can join a golf outing and have their photo taken with the president. For $250,000, contributors get a photo, golf outing and can participate in a round-table discussion." https://t.co/pJdMZUNLXR

Disgusting but not a surprise that Oracle wants to kill our republic plus trying to ultimately score in their copyright battle against Google over Java APIs. https://t.co/hK3XlYcBDs

Disgusting, @Oracle @larryellison. You are in service to bigotry and despotism. https://t.co/GkOL2yKbKj

Great peek at the sausage-making from @JamesVGrimaldi @johndmckinnon and Brody Mullins. A letter from members of Congress opposing Amazon's DOD cloud computing contract was actually written by lobbyists at Oracle (who wanted the contract for themselves).https://t.co/5ADapXqWJJ pic.twitter.com/Ju2Z22qhzg
