OpenAI wants you to believe that by 2030, it’ll be raking in $100 billion a year just from ads alone - even though it’s currently struggling to reach just $1 billion.

The Ellison's don't care, they've already fished that pond empty. They're in the propaganda business now.

They can't close on the Warner deal yet (court ordered the deal be paused for 28 days to consider blocking it), and if the courts hold up the merger for a few months, and Oracle stock plummets based on their bad investments, the Ellisons' personal guarantee on the purchase price might not be enough to actually complete the merger.

I don't think it's very likely, but I can dream, at least for now.
