Thiel actively manipulates these same channels for his benefit. If you think he wasn't selling into the bitcoin pump all of last year that he helped provoke, you're incredibly naive. Much in the same way Musk pumped his own stock and sold (along with his brother) at the top.
Thiel has no principles. He is an empire builder. His goal is to protect his wealth and build it through whatever means possible. The writing is on the wall for big tech, and he has changed his tune accordingly.

- bko 4y agoHow was Thiel pumping bitcoin and manipulating social media channels? He has no social media presence at all. I saw one speech at a Bitcoin conference that no one else really watched and I figured he liked the tech due to his politics. But he wasn't pumping it. > Much in the same way Musk pumped his own stock and sold (along with his brother) at the top. If he had a crystal ball about the future of the market and Tesla stock, why didn't he sell more? Seems like he left a lot of money on the table. > Thiel has no principles. He is an empire builder. His goal is to protect his wealth and build it through whatever means possible There are a lot of things you can say about Thiel but he's not all about protecting his wealth. He personally spent $10 million to fight Gawker for refusing a court order to take down an illegal sex tape of someone. He also suffered a huge reputational hit by supporting and funding Trump early on. He has principles, just ones that you may not agree with.
