The White House, Oracle and Silver Lake won't answer questions about a $10 billion payment that was apparently required to secure the TikTok sale.
It's unprecedented. And officially undisclosed.
U.S. investors and biz leaders should want answers.

I wrote for @bw about the Epstein files and capitalism's credibility problem. Its hard to have faith in business when the world's leading businessmen look so craven, and so dumb. Gift link: bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Interesting, Microsoft is essentially claiming it acquired OpenAI through an exclusive deal and therefore Amazon's investment in the company is illegal. ft.com/content/e814f4…

There's one big unexpected winner from Nvidia's move to buy chip company Groq for $20 billion late last year. Uncle Sam. The deal’s structure means that the Treasury will likely pocket more than $6 billion in tax revenue.

As @MilanKoch of @mantisVC shared in a @Forbes article featuring Sheehan: “He’s gritty, a phenomenal scientist and a good salesman at the same time. He’s the perfect archetype for this business.” Transforming nuclear waste into a strategic energy resource.

Key analogy to watch here: Regardless of whether Ellison sells or borrows against his $ORCL shareholding, the vast majority of his wealth is tied up in the value of (fairly volatile) Oracle shares.
The equivalent analogy here would be Saudis and oil prices, but those are up (quite a bit!) since the war.
My question is ... would they pull back entirely if building DCs in the Middle East becomes too risky? Or try to invest and build elsewhere?

Matt Stoller@matthewstoller
When Larry Ellison made the bid for Warner Discovery, his net worth was $350 billion. Today it's $200 billion. That's down $150 billion, more than the entire value of Warner. Keep that in mind as the Saudis retrench investments. thebignewsletter.com/p/monopoly-rou…
