Ah yes, I remember all those times Bob Bakish had his father come to business dinners to talk about mergers, or had him hop on Zoom calls with advisors. It's totally a normal thing for CEOs to have their daddies help them with their jobs.

“If we have the privilege to work together you will see that my father and I are the people you had dinner with,” Ellison wrote. “We are always loyal and honorable to our partners and hope we have the opportunity to prove that to you. Best, David”.
