🚨 Mark Ruffalo disputes Paramount Skydance's accusation of invoking "antisemitic tropes" in his criticism of their $111bn merger with Warner Bros Discovery (WBD).
🤝 Ruffalo highlighted links between Paramount Skydance, led by David Ellison, and Oracle, run by his father Larry Ellison, noting Oracle's supply of technology to the Israel Defense Forces. He accused Larry Ellison of using Oracle to fund his son's acquisition.
🗣️ Paramount responded, calling Ruffalo's use of words like "genocide" and "apartheid" in a business dispute "a bridge too far," while Ruffalo clarified his criticism is not directed at Jewish people but at specific business and political actions.
💰 The $111bn merger, which aims to combine major media assets including CNN and HBO, remains on hold pending a federal judge's review of an antitrust lawsuit, despite approval from the US Department of Justice in June.
