@cdarwin@c.imPalantir co-founder #Peter #Thiel has donated 👉$3m to a California lobbying group advocating AGAINST a proposed wealth tax that would target billionaires in the state.
The seven-figure contribution comes as several ultra-wealthy tech moguls have left or threatened to leave California over the tax.
Thiel, worth so…

@marcel@waldvogel.family"But they stop short of examining the forces that may be actually driving the minerals agenda: tech billionaires like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, who see Greenland not just as a source of rare earths, but as a laboratory for their libertarian economic and social experiments. These tech-billionaires envision unregulated “freedom cities” in Greenland, free from democratic oversight, environmental laws, and labor protections."
@servelan@newsie.socialSo, this could be the common thread: "In the extensive correspondence between the Silicon Valley venture capitalist and the late pedophile, both men expressed a deep aversion to democracy."

@annsev@troet.cafeI consider Peter #Thiel to be a power-hungry and ruthless egomaniac with a religious streak, which he tactically brings to the fore in order to hide his true character. Thiel himself is a great danger to peace and freedom and to a future in which all people and all of creation can participate.
Thiel is a negative #monomaniac

“Brexit, just the beginning,” Epstein told Peter Thiel in 2016. After it comes: “Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances. You and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high, and as I said in your office. Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain.”
@a_j_millar@fediscience.orgQuote of Carole Cadwalladr @… post, Monday 17th Nov 25, "Peter Thiel gets out of Dodge",
itself quoting...
“The CFO of OpenAI, Sarah Friar, gave the game away a week ago when she said that she was thinking that there was a role for the government to play in backstopping the future investments of companies like OpenAI, that is a terrible idea.[…]
You know, everybody on Wall Street is excited about this #bubble. 34% of the market value is in the big companies. The private ones have notional values that would make them, you know, Fortune 200 companies. ...."
Investors have to take the hit, not taxpayers/public services.
I have seen this film before.
I still don't like the ending.

@cdarwin@c.imJeffrey Epstein,
at the very least, believed that he was orchestrating the downfall of the global order in the 2010s.
In June 2016, he emailed venture capitalist, early Facebook investor, and Palantir founder Peter Thiel,
writing, “Brexit, just the beginning.”
He then laid out the most succinct mission statement we currently have for what Epstein was trying to accomplish.
“Return to tribalism,” he wrote.
“Counter to globalization.
