Peter Thiel, Radical Libertarian Futurist, Thinks Donald Trump Can Rebuild America

[DonViejo]

Doesn't give reason why. Also: Historical GOP convention declaration that he's "proud to be gay" flies fine with crowd.

Since it was announced back in May that PayPal co-founder and early Facebook investor and eccentric multibillionaire Peter Thiel, famous for investing in outre longevity technologies, building free cities in the ocean, paying kids not to go to college, and dissing democracy, was going to serve as a delegate for Donald Trump at the Republican Party convention, those who found Thiel at least inspirationally bizarre were at the very least confused.

Most other big Silicon Valley money and minds were openly hostile to Trump, for many issues including his hostility to immigration and desire to force American companies to make things where he thinks they should make them, neither policy very good for Silicon Valley. Thiel's colleagues tend to just sigh about why Thiel has become a Trump booster. (Thiel is an immigrant himself, born in West Germany.)
