I'm sorry... what? Thiel's political opinions, alignments and investments are not remotely a secret. And having actually read the article, it seems pretty preposterous to imply it was a hit piece. If anything, this makes me feel like maybe Thiel is more complicated or nuanced than I'd previously thought him.
> Thiel is more complicated or nuanced
Or maybe, simply, just more impulsive.
Ha! As if anyone would even need to do a hit piece on Thiel.
Given his past successful vendetta against Gawker, it takes an exceptional amount of cojones for a publication to go after him.
"There you go, bringing my words and actions into the debate!"
