Whenever I hear those names I personally link immediately Elon Musk to "genuinely enthusiastic & a bit crazy", but in the case of Larry Ellison I get only "dark side"-thoughts... .

I'd still want to know his opinions. With great knowledge comes great power, and thus responsibility.

I think that Larry was so far only in Iron Man (http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/mp/G9UGuzVE1g-l.jpg), not in Spider-Man movies => so, sorry, he's most probably not carrying such a huge ethical burden :)

Edit: I would be absolutely interested in hearing Larry's wished next steps, but I don't think that board members usually release statements (I think that they only "steer" the CEO, help "facilitating" whenever issues arise and perform overseeing activities), right?

They do whatever the bylaws of the corp allow/require them to do, but yes, in general they are steering thr CxOs. And if we hear anything about what he says/does it'll be through Elon, I guess.
