Billionaire Peter Thiel—one of Facebook’s earliest investors—plans to leave Meta’s board of directors, the company announced Monday, and plans to focus on influencing November’s midterm elections in favor of Trump-aligned candidates.

The only logical reason he'd do this is because he intends to take the whole verse down, and can't do it as a board member without getting taken to the cleaners with conflict of interest suits.

lol from the opening sentence of the wikipedia page on him...


quote:

Peter Andreas Thiel (/ti?l/; born 11 October 1967) is a German-American billionaire entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and political activist, who does not believe freedom and democracy are compatible.

Thiel isn't nearly Trumpy as the media wants him to be.

He's probably going to help run Trumps new social media platform.

True, but he came into it as an outside investor. Perhaps he thought he could influence it and/or make some money?

He has a long track record of supporting various independents and people on the right, some good, some not so good. He was a big supporter of Ron Paul.

I think Thiel was born in Germany. The progs are probably breathing a sigh of relief he can't be President. Damnit I thought he was born in America.

He was one of the first investors in FB. When did the CIA takeover FB? Not for a year or two, no?

Legit. Thiel was one of the first people to give the finger to SFO. He gives zero f*ck about what people think. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. Zilch.
