Thiel is one of those people who genuinely concerns me.
He has become almost a magnet for some incredibly shady characters the past few years with this just being the latest example.
Then I feel like everything I have ever read about him from the gawker incident onwards just paints the picture of someone who and is fuelled by spite and further power.
The part that worries me in particular is that he is by all accounts extremely competent. But in just a few years he has managed to make this transition from successful tech entrepreneur type to someone who is now deeply entrenched in some key parts of society (law enforcement, intelligence community and politics) all while continually making statements that indicate psychopath like tendencies.
He genuinely seems like the absolutely last person you would want involved with any of those groups unless your politics happen to perfectly match up.
