Mr. Thiel’s plans are part of a broad move by the venture capitalist, who has ties to dozens of top startups, to reduce his direct role in the Silicon Valley tech industry that he helped to shape, the people said. Mr. Thiel has grown more disaffected by what he sees as the intolerant, left-leaning politics of the San Francisco Bay Area,

so he is moving to Kansas or at least Texas, amirite?
As a result, after spending most of the past four decades in the Bay Area, the 50-year-old plans to permanently move into the 7,000-square foot home overlooking the Sunset Strip

Wait,what? He is tired of bay area liberal politics, so he is moving to Hollywood?
 
I can see how the turning of SF from a bastion of conservatism it was in the...*checks notes*...late 90s into the liberal haven it is today would be off putting to Peter.

Another hardcore libertarian finance geek who upon people finding out what they are really about become less than popular cause they are wealthy, nuts, and disconnected from reality. SF and the peninsula are a relatively small place so I can see why he's probably feeling less than warm fuzzies now.
 
I know Rupert Murdoch lives in Los Angeles, or at least owns a house there, because it was in the news during the recent fires. It's interesting how these conservatives don't want to live in conservative states.

Honestly what difference does it make? do you try and make friends with everyone? Insecure billionaires is all I see.

A gay man who isn't a liberal. That will fuck with some people around here.

Oh, he's not a Repugnant either.

Wow man deep....

I missed the threads where it was said no gay people were in the GOP (except for the log cabin Republicans)

Ah yes, the speech where he came out as a "proud gay man" after being dragged out of the closet by Gawker back when he was shoveling money to conservative causes including anti-gay efforts.

My hero.

Anti-gay efforts? Another idiot triggered.

If one perused a list of the people he donated to among many of the conservatives are people who openly supported stuff like an amendment to ban gay marriage, upholding DADT, and other sundry social conservative items. So yea.

It's important to know more about somebody than if they are simply gay or not. Like if they are a delusional hypocrite who funded people against the larger community he now has tried to embrace for political reasons.

Yes, it's important to do 5 minutes of research to find his connections to gay rights groups and how much money he has donated.

Oh, he's also pro-marijuana, the scum.

That Thiel is two faced seems to only be a surprise to you.
 
Oh, so that's how it is. You either 100% agree with everything he does or he's "two faced".

I'd really like to know what anti-gay efforts he "shoveled money to". Or, you could admit that you got triggered before you had all the facts.
