Oracle issues force-majeure notices on data center project, fueling delay speculation
ns123abc · x · 2026-09-25
- Oracle's official account responded that force-majeure notices are "commonplace in developments of this scale" and are often used to preserve contractual rights among project partners, not to establish delays or changed delivery expectations.
- The retweeter sarcastically suggested "Liferaft Larry bought Hollywood just in time," implying possible data center delivery problems; an attached image provides further context.
- The statement is being read as an indirect acknowledgment and denial of rumors about the pace of Oracle's large-scale data center buildout.
