The video, from Oracle Open World 2018, captured Ellison’s praise for Musk’s accomplishments, especially his groundbreaking success with SpaceX and the landing of rockets. Ellison’s admiration was evident as he questioned critics who doubted Musk’s capabilities, emphasizing the remarkable nature of his work.
‘You know, he’s landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean. And you’re saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing? You ever land a rocket?’ Ellison asked in the video. ‘I just want to know who you are so I know, why I should believe you, as opposed to my friend Elon?’
The strong bond between Musk and Ellison has been evident for years. Ellison has consistently shown his support by investing heavily in Musk’s ventures, including a significant $1 billion contribution to Musk’s acquisition of Twitter. Furthermore, their collaboration extends beyond financial support. The duo recently met with Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang during a dinner, reportedly seeking more GPUs for their projects.
Musk, in response to the resurfaced video, simply stated, ‘Larry Ellison is awesome.’ This public display of appreciation highlights the mutual respect and admiration these tech titans hold for each other. The admiration between these two figures underscores the powerful influence they have on the tech industry. Their shared vision and collaboration in the field of innovation are sure to continue shaping the future of technology.
