Billionaire David Ellison Humiliated, Plane Flies Profane Insult Over Lot

Tech and media mogul David Ellison became the target of a high-profile airborne protest after a small plane dragged an explicit banner reading 'Ellison is Trump's b---h' over the Paramount lot in Los Angeles. Reddit users and local onlookers documented the aircraft repeatedly circling the studio headquarters as anger mounts over his expanding corporate footprint.

The protest coincides with Ellison's sweeping acquisition of Paramount through Skydance and his pending $111 billion merger to absorb Warner Bros., which would bring CNN under his corporate umbrella. Critics and industry watchdogs have raised serious alarms that the deal could steer major news networks toward a more conservative, pro-MAGA editorial stance.

"We are here to thank state attorneys general for holding firm in their lawsuit to block the merger," said a spokesperson for the Block the Merger coalition, though the group denied funding the plane.

Despite throwing a party to honor Donald Trump and facing accusations of orchestrating a conservative shift at CBS News under Free Press founder Bari Weiss, Ellison has strongly pushed back against the narrative. In a recent New York Times op-ed, he maintained that his personal political contributions span multiple parties and will not dictate newsroom decisions.

Legal challenges and antitrust lawsuits from state attorneys general continue to stall the massive multi-billion-dollar merger as activists demand stricter regulatory oversight.
