  For what it's worth, Thiel isn't supporting Trump like he used to so far. https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/2/21312154/peter-thiel-trump-2020-election-campaign-shying-away-distancing https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/2/21312154/peter-thiel-trump...

    I wouldn't take anything that Peter Thiel "says" he's thinking about doing too seriously. He also said this in 2016: >I think one thing that should be distinguished here is that the media is always taking Trump literally. It never takes him seriously, but it always takes him literally. … I think a lot of voters who vote for Trump take Trump seriously but not literally, so when they hear things like the Muslim comment or the wall comment, their question is not, ‘Are you going to build a wall like the Great Wall of China?’ or, you know, ‘How exactly are you going to enforce these tests?’ What they hear is we’re going to have a saner, more sensible immigration policy.

  The claim that Peter Thiel's connection to Trump has somehow benefited Palantir is completely absurd. According to Alex Karp, it takes ten years to build the kind of customer base with governments that they have built, the majority of which was built under the Obama administration.
