Not sure this says anything other than Thiel had dinner with some probable white nationalists. That doesn't mean the dinner had anything to do with white nationalism or that he even knew that side of these people.

Sure it's not a good look but reads more like a hit piece than anything of substance.

From what I recall, he's had multiple "questionable" comments in the past in this same vein, and your argument is he accidentally met with one of the most notable white nationalist of current times and didn't realize.

He sent him a follow up email afterwards saying how much he enjoyed the conversation!

It's extremely relevant to tech if the enormous data harboring company Palantir is founded and being run by someone with white nationalist views.

Just read the whole article before commenting. Obviously, he knew.

Read the article. Didn't see evidence that he met with them to discuss white nationalism.
