 Random question but it’s been on my mind all day…. Exactly how much power does Peter Thiel have? I’m starting to feel like it’s a lot.

 This book is a pretty good synopsis of the power he can leverage and this is over a reporter outing him as gay…  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36681909-conspiracy

 He’s meticulous. Finds people who will carry out his vision. Has deep pockets. And a strong conviction to get his way. Plus he has a US military intelligence arm in Palantir.

 I don’t know exactly, but I know Palintir and spin off projects are deeply embedded into the Military Industrial Complex. He also has billions to influence outcomes with.
