Oracle reportedly wants to buy TikTok. It’s run by Trump supporters.

Will the Trump administration’s forced sale of TikTok leave Generation Z’s favorite video app in the hands of a Trump-loving tech company?
It could very well happen now that Oracle, a business database software company, has talks to possibly acquire the social video app. President Trump had originally given ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese owner, 45 days to find a potential buyer, but has since extended the deadline until after the U.S. election in November.
Oracle has reportedly approached venture capital firm Sequoia Capital with the intent to partner up and acquire TikTok. The pairing, as many have pointed out, is an odd fit as Oracle is a business-to-business company that doesn’t have any customer-facing products, let alone teen-friendly social media apps.
But what makes the potential acquisition more interesting is the fact that Oracle is run by huge supporters of Donald Trump.
Oracle cofounder and CTO Larry Ellison has his support for the president, who is up for re-election in November. Ellison, a Republican mega-donor who also happens to be the in the world, even hosted a for Trump’s 2020 campaign earlier this year. (Note: Elon Musk recently became the fourth richest person, according to Bloomberg, so Ellison may have been knocked down a peg since the Forbes list was last updated.)
