The sub headline is a better summary of what is happening: > Peter Thiel to Exit Meta’s Board to Support Trump-Aligned Candidates He just wants to be free to involve himself in politics but not get Meta involved. Maybe he also has additional motivation for leaving, but that's speculation and this right here is a solid reason. From the article: > In October, the two Senate candidates argued in an opinion piece in The New York Post that Mr. Zuckerberg’s $400 million in donations to local election offices in 2020 amounted to “election meddling” that should be investigated. To avoid any such issues for the company leaving the board looks like a logical precaution to me.
