Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos Lose $66B as AI Slump Triggers Tech Billionaire Wealth Rout
</a>
</h5>
<p class="card-text line-clamp-3">The tech industry witnessed a dramatic shift as the wealth of several top tech billionaires plummeted due to fears over the AI bubble and fluctuating valuations. Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, experienced a staggering $59.2 billion loss in his net worth since the beginning of the year, with $19 billion of that occurring just this week. The selloff was exacerbated by developments such as Anthropic’s new legal AI tool, which caused a nearly 4% drop in the S&P 500 software and services index.</p>

And, and this is a personal interpretation, I believe there is a good argument to be made that the headway Christianity made into the UK had more to do with opportunists looking to add credence to claims of ownership on fiefs and tithes than anything. Buying God Tokens if you will.<br /><br />Still - you don't have to go back thousands of years to see the same process. Around one hundred are enough. In 1920s Italy the combination of long-term penury and a general feeling of being cheated out of rightful dues saw a political chameleon take this same well-trodden path dressed up in the break-neck speed of Futurism and the power of Industry while harking back to the glories of Rome binding all to the haft of the axe used to cut them.<br /><br />My point is  - it doesn't matter who or what Trump is. If it wasn't him it would be some other amoral, venal type cunning enough to build their pyramid - Kennedy, Boebert, Rubio, Noem, Musk, Zuccerberg .... the space they fill is the result of over 40 years of pulling up the ladder to create a plutocracy. The Nobel awarded economic theory architect of the nightmare reality we are living in was intentionally toxic and was latched onto by the center-right in the US and Europe in the early 1970s as they looked on the rise of affluent and educated left-leaning populaces and saw a threat to their niche in society.<br /><br />What the US is going through is regime change instigated by foreign interests and paid for by its own plutocrats who share a common vision. Seen countess times before where people are owned and live or die based on the whims of one (mono) or several (oligoi).<br /><br /><br /></span><a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/ukpol" rel="tag">#ukpol</a> <a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/uspol" rel="tag">#uspol</a></p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://plasmatrap.com/notes/amt9lmp2se</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://plasmatrap.com/notes/amt9lmp2se</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[theriac@plasmatrap.com]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 16:21:37 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to We fought a war 250 years ago to get a King’s name off our laws. on Thu, 28 May 2026 15:29:10 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/strandjunker%40mstdn.social">@<span>Strandjunker</span></a></span> I would suggest having an intervention for everyone you know who refused to vote for Kamala in the last election or Hillary in 2016.</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mas.to/users/farbel/statuses/116652910224397096</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mas.to/users/farbel/statuses/116652910224397096</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[farbel@mas.to]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 15:29:10 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to We fought a war 250 years ago to get a King’s name off our laws. on Thu, 28 May 2026 15:21:27 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/strandjunker%40mstdn.social">@<span>Strandjunker</span></a></span> this should be engraved in stone</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.social/users/iamnotU/statuses/116652879839534767</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.social/users/iamnotU/statuses/116652879839534767</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[iamnotu@mastodon.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 15:21:27 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
