Oracle’s Exploding Debt and Plumeting Stock Price Threaten Paramount Media Empire?

The foundations of the hastily assembled Ellison family hasbara media empire are cracking as Oracle stock dives and its debt climbs.

The foundations of the hastily assembled Ellison family hasbara media empire — Paramount, WBD, American TikTok — are cracking as Oracle stock has lost $600 billion in market cap since its September 2025 peak and its nearly $200 billion in corporate debt is close to junk bond status.

Oracle Stock Ain’t What It Used to Be

And neither is the Ellison family fortune that’s built on it.

Never fear, the consensus wisdom “on the Street” is that Oracle is a great buy opportunity! Buy the dip, follow it all the way down.

Yahoo! Finance calls the stock plunge “embarrassing” for Larry Ellison (he may be only the world’s 8th richest human, but he’s just a temporarily embarrassed #2 as Steinbeck would say):

Oracle (ORCL) billionaire and well-known yachting expert Larry Ellison might spend his summer aboard his 160-foot superyacht dubbed the Musashi.

But, for lack of better terms, his stock has sunk to the ocean floor, and it’s unclear what will bring it back afloat.
