>I don’t think it’s a coincidence that both Peter Thiel and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick have been chummy and beyond with Trump. Travis has been chummy and beyond

  In Travis's case, what's "chummy" in the first place? Agreeing to serve on a forum and stepping down before it ever met?

    You mean he was forced to step down by the pressure users put on him http://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/03/schwarzman-uber-ceo-forced-to-quit-trump-council.html http://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/03/schwarzman-uber-ceo-forced-to...

      Yes. The piece I wanted to clarify was that it occurred before any meeting.

      Maybe that's "chummy", maybe it's just overly optimistic. It's obviously not the same world as Thiel, who overtly supported Trump since the primaries, gave the keynote at the RNC, and contributed a bunch of money to the campaign. Lumping the two together is disingenuous and absurd.
