Agree with the second sentence, but I'm pretty interested in Thiel because he's one of the few, and maybe only, prominent tech billionaires who does not talk in PR-speak and pretend that capitalism is benevolent. His well known "competition is for losers" point exhibits how he candidly rejects capitalist articles of faith that are held and espoused by the dishonest and the stupid. > we should be allied against people like him. Oracle's Larry E is also a multi-billionaire Trump supporting right-winger, but he hides his malevolence and ideology, so there's little talk about him.
