During the company's latest earnings call, Oracle founder Larry Ellison admitted (via Barron’s) that he had to beg Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to supply his company with its latest GPUs. “In Nobu Palo Alto, I went to dinner with Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, and I would describe the dinner as me and Elon begging Jensen for GPUs. Please take our money; no, take more of it. You’re not taking enough of it; we need you to take more of our money, please,” Ellison said during the call. “It went okay; it worked.”
