Elon Musk expressed admiration for Oracle’s Chief Technological Officer Larry Ellison on Friday after an old video of the latter resurfaced.
What Happened: The post highlighted Ellison’s remarks from Oracle Open World 2018, where he praised Musk’s accomplishments, particularly his success in landing rockets. Ellison had questioned critics who doubted Musk’s capabilities, emphasizing the impressive nature of Musk’s work.
Ellison is heard saying in the video,”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?”
“I just want to know who you are so I know, why I should believe you, as opposed to my friend Elon?”
Musk’s reposted the video and said, “Larry Ellison is awesome.”
