Maybe they just believe in Thiel's free speech rights.
- prutschman 10y agoI have free speech rights too, but YC is under no more obligation to keep him around than it is to keep me around.
- gizmo 10y agoPeter Thiel isn't a regular guy with an imaginative twitter stream. He's an influential and highly connected billionaire. This has nothing to do with free speech.
- pc2g4d 10y agoBillionaires don't have rights to free speech?
- kafkaesq 10y agoReally, whatever you think about Thiel -- the decision of whether to maintain a high-profile business relationship with someone -- or chose not to, for whatever reason -- has nothing -- whatsoever -- do with "free speech" rights, in the usual sense.
- thisrod 10y ago> He's an influential and highly connected billionaire. Which makes him totally different from the Member of Parliament for Cambridge, Master of the Mint, intellectual grandfather of the enlightenment, etc. By the way, Isaac Newton MP did have a somewhat lasting influence on theology: he got to vote in 1688.
