Politicians[edit]
According to his Wikipedia page, several politicians have received donations from him, but it's unclear how much in some cases.

- I expected to add like, five to seven pages tops to this category when I made it. I knew Thiel's network was massive, but it seems to be wider than even I knew (I'm not even done yet, by the way). By the way, a rather obscure one: he met with one of the Red Scare Podcast people according to some news outlet. I think there was a suggestion he may be funding Red Scare. Explains a lot of their trending towards tradwife and reactionary bullshit. I don't think we have a page about them, though, and I'm not sure they're even worth bothering about. Perhaps more interesting to you particular, Bongolian: he's funded the Seasteading Institute. Though, I think that's too narrow to add this category to the "libertarian paradise" page its section is on. Chillpilled (talk) 20:47, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- I'll be here all night if I add the category to any politician he's donated to. I'll focus on any he donated above $10k to (it seems to be usual for big donors to spend sub-10k amounts on politicians they disagree with to buy an audience with them, but anything especially above $20k could probably be seen as an endorsement). That includes Gavin Newsom, oddly enough, who we don't have a page on. Chillpilled (talk) 22:35, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
