Thiel also seems to hold some confusing opinions (not very pro-immigration despite working closely with and benefiting from immigrants such as Elon Musk and Max Levchin).
- maxerickson 10y agoHe probably thinks a Trump administration will be better for him than a Clinton administration. It's pretty much down to those two. It's also an opportunity for him to raise his own profile in political circles.
