They're in it mostly for the tax cuts. Oligarchs usually don't care about handing out the country to lunatics if they can make a quick buck out of it. Hell, Thiel is gay, married to a man, and still donated millions to the anti-gay marriage party. They know their wealth shields them from the negative consequences of their actions.

> in it mostly for the tax cuts He’s in the Treasury. Not only can he see his companies’ competitors’ payments, he can see their payroll data. We’re a two weeks in and he has read only. It wouldn’t take that much work to issue a few billion dollars in payments and then wipe the slate such that it’s incredibly difficult for anyone to catch on for years. We’re way past tax cuts. Thiel got played, plainly and simply. (His issue was China. Trump is soft on China. Hell, he’s beating up Canada more than China.) The billionaires in the government are the winners; those out, probably not. (For what it’s worth, Thiel mostly sat out this election. This was more Andreessen’s deal.)
