PNN – The founder of Oracle Technology and owner of the American division of the TikTok app in 2015 is buying up major media companies such as CBS and CNN news networks and controlling their content in favor of Israel.
According to hacked emails published by a hacking group called “Hanzala,” Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle Technology and owner of the American division of the TikTok app, investigated the loyalty of current US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to the Israeli regime in 2015.
The documents show that Ellison had discussions with Israeli officials about supporting Rubio as a potential candidate for the US presidency.
Who is Larry Ellison?
Larry Ellison, one of the richest people in the world and the CEO of Oracle, one of the largest technology companies in the United States, is a staunch supporter of Israel. Ellison recently acquired a stake in the American app TikTok and plans to make changes to the popular social network to make its content more pro-Israel.
TikTok is a Chinese short video sharing app that is very popular in the United States.

Marco Rubio and the relationship with Israel
Marco Rubio, now Secretary of State, was a former senator who supported a ban on TikTok in the United States at the time. Leaked emails show that Ellison spoke to Israeli officials about Rubio in 2015 and assured him of his commitment to supporting Israel.
He has even supported Rubio’s campaign by holding a fundraiser and donating $5 million to a pro-Rubio political group.
Ellison’s plan for the media
Ellison is expanding his influence in American media. He and his son, David Ellison, are buying up major media companies such as the news networks CBS and CNN, the film studio Warner Bros. and the Paramount Pictures company.
Their goal is to control media content and influence public opinion in the United States, especially on Israel. They work with Barry Weiss, editor of the Free Press, to steer the direction of these media outlets.
The role of TikTok and Netanyahu’s statements
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last week in a closed-door meeting at the Israeli Consulate in New York that social media, especially TikTok, is the “most important weapon” for maintaining American support for Israel.
He considers the purchase of TikTok by a group of American investors, including Ellison, Michael Dell (founder of Dell), and Rupert Murdoch (owner of major media), to be very significant, and believes that control of TikTok and the X social network (formerly Twitter) could provide Israel with great influence.
What is the “New Gaza” plan?
Ellison reportedly works closely with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and has donated more than $350 million to the Blair Foundation, which is involved in a project called “New Gaza,” touted by US President Donald Trump as a free trade zone overseen by a “peace commission.” The plan is controversial and, some say, a high-tech surveillance project.
Given Ellison’s growing influence in the media and TikTok, many worry that these changes will affect how public opinion in the United States is formed about Israel. Netanyahu has emphasized that controlling social media could help Israel maintain American support, especially at a time when the country faces global isolation due to the Gaza war.
