It’s interesting that Thiel feels like more of a puppeteer than Musk. The latter in theory is objectively more powerful but it seems like he’s more a part of the Thiel cohort than the other way around

PayPal Mafia goes far, Thiel has saved Elon's ass a couple times that gets you your place in the pecking order imho

I think more about Altman tbh and how he flies under the radar for some people. Less so after the OpenAI drama

Thiel has been playing the game since college.

Seems like the kind of guy that knows how to use leverage to get his way.

would rather Thiel at the helm than whoever is pulling Biden/Kamala strings
