Thiel is one of the most vicious, petty hypocrites around.

Believes fiercely in free speech, but bankrolls an entire lawsuit to get revenge on a press publication that outs him.

Goes on and on about being a libertarian but his company, Palantir, is just about the worst abuser of privacy one can imagine, and then uses his connections with Trump to pardon Levandowski.

Espouses a distinctly anti-government, pro-corporate fantasy where the best in business are ostensibly the smartest and most viable leaders, yet whole-heartedly backs Trump, perhaps the least successful businessman one can name, even today and bankrolls the next wave of populist right-wing candidates who take the approach to the lowest possible denominators.

Screw him. I wouldn't take funding from any firm he's associated with.
