Silicon Valley Billionaire Larry Ellison Donated the $1 Million That Funds SuperPAC Backing TN-5 Carpetbagger Morgan Ortagus

Silicon Valley billionaire Larry Ellison, the executive chairman and chief technology officer of Oracle, donated $1 million on March 21 to the recently-formed SuperPAC supporting TN-5 carpetbagger candidate Morgan Ortagus, according to Federal Election Commission records obtained by The Tennessee Star on Friday.

That SuperPAC, the Tennessee Conservatives PAC, has already begun running a $100,000 radio ad buy in the district in support of Ortagus.

Ellison is listed as the sole donation in the Tennessee Conservative PAC’s April 2022 first quarterly finance report. His donation history includes donations to Republican U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, and Marco Rubio and other Republican candidates and committees.

Ellison’s donation history also includes contributions to Democrat candidates and committees. U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA), California Governor Gavin Newsom, former U.S. Senator John Kerry (D-MA), U.S. House member and Trump impeachment manager Zoe Lofgren (D-CA-19), former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s PAC, former U.S. Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), the New Hampshire Democratic State Committee, and the Democrat National Committee are among the Democrats candidates and groups that Ellison has donated to.

    In the past you never could be sure who would win an election, so the safest thing to do is buy BOTH sides.

    Old joke among computer geeks:

    Q: What's the difference between Larry Ellison and God?

    A: God doesn't think he's Larry Ellison.

      I remember Ellison saying "It's not enough for Oracle to win, but all others must lose." Oracle should have been investigated for their shady business practices. Ellison and Oracle were every bit as corrupt as Gates and Microsoft.

      And don't get me started on Ellison/Oracle buying Sun with the intent of suing Google to pay for the deal.

      The only thing Larry Ellison has going for him is that he's not Bill Gates.
