Remember the lawnmower and the acronym.

toomanyrichies•26m ago

For those who don't get the references:

"Lawnmower" refers to this. [1] And I'm guessing "acronym" refers to the joke that "Oracle" is an acronym for "One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison".

Some context from Matt Levine [0] as to what was different prior to this change.

(TL;DR, but please correct me if I'm wrong: it was previously backstopped by Ellison's revocable trust. Ellison could theoretically clear out the revocable trust at any time, and leave WBD high and dry. Now that it is backstopped by Ellison himself, there is no such worry.)
