Bonta must do so if wants to preserve his political future. If he caves, he'll never hold political office ever again.

Zero concessions to paramount. Bonta must hold the line for California

Well, if daddy Ellison is moving to Tennessee, then baby Ellison has to move also. Where or what would he be without his daddy's money? He has never accomplished anything on his own.

Great analysis, Fiona, Gene and Norm!

And how much money do Daddy and Baby Ellison actually have? Are they more heavily leveraged than they want people to know?

NubbyShober's avatar

They are VERY heavily leveraged.

Once the Dot-com--errr, AI--bubble pops, the Ellison empire will be the first liquidated. Even a slight slowdown in the AI market could mean financial disaster for Ellison.

This article makes a lot of sense! I hope Rob Bonta has the where with all to call Ellison's bluff, and not hold the great state of California to threats and bullying! The Ellison's cannot be trusted!

Thank you for providing this careful economic analysis from people who know how to find the figures behind the rhetoric.

California’s AG will become a super hero if he calls Ellison’s bluff.

I strongly urge everyone to read Anne Applebaum’s article, “Empire of Grift” in the October issue of The Atlantic magazine. It is an eye opening account of the people inside the government working to take down our democracy for their own power and enrichment. Very scary and sickening.

Thanks for this! Yes, AG Bonta, take this advice!

Screw Paramount, they will hurt no one but themselves, and boycotts will happen

donna woodward's avatar

The boycotts have already begun, which is why Ellison is so desperate for this deal that will further enrich him and devastate the industry.

Don't settle. Meet them in court. Call their bluff.

Raymond Goldsteen's avatar

Yes, we hope Bonta takes this advice!

If he caves, he should be investigated just like the rest of the fascist bums. It isn’t good.
