How 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.
