The New York Times reports:
Peter Thiel, one of the longest-serving board members of Meta, the parent of Facebook, plans to step down, the company said on Monday.
Mr. Thiel, 54, wants to focus on influencing November’s midterm elections. Mr. Thiel sees the midterms as crucial to changing the direction of the country, this person said, and he is backing candidates who support the agenda of former president Donald J. Trump.
Over the last year, Mr. Thiel, who has a net worth estimated at $2.6 billion by Forbes, has become one of the Republican’s Party’s largest donors. He gave $10 million each last year to the campaigns of two protégés, Blake Masters, who is running for a Senate seat in Arizona, and J.D. Vance, who is running for Senate in Ohio.

Hello Annie. I am not bothered he is a true believer I am bothered because he has the money to push his beliefs in ways the rest of us have trouble fighting back against. This guy at one point was pushing the idea to form his own armed island to have what he thought of as the cream of society to live on and watch as the rest of the people were destroyed or died off. Not sure if his plan intended to help that. Then the best people would repopulate the world under strict controls he would devise and live by the rules he created. That was a scary plan he believed in. So his pushing and almost entirely funding his own candidates is something to be concerned over. IMO.
Reading your post on the New York absentee ballot issues. Not finish yet. Thanks for the info. I had no idea.
