Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison recently donated $15 mil to a super PAC aligned with Sen. Tim Scott

Billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison recently donated $15 million to a super PAC aligned with South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, a Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing shows.

The donation brought Ellison's total contributions to the pro-Scott PAC, the Opportunity Matters Fund, to more than $25 million, FEC records show. Politico earlier reported the $15 million donation.

Ellison is cofounder, largest shareholder, and chairman of software company Oracle. He has a net worth of $93.3 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which ranked him as the world's ninth-wealthiest person.

Scott, who's been South Carolina's junior senator since 2013, told Fox News on Sunday that he was open to being a part of Donald Trump's "bandwagon," suggesting a willingness to be Trump's running mate if the former president pursues a 2024 White House bid.

His company was launched by Fed money.

He is, as are most people who work for the company, an absolute piece of shit.

Find a person who defends Oracle, and you will find an absolute fucking asshole.
