Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, owner of the military technology companies Palantir and Anduril, an early investor in Facebook, the man who has openly declared since the 2000s that democracy is a mistake and that he wants to destroy the United States and European countries to establish city-states, each governed by a different corporation (fiefdoms), on our ruins, has always chosen his projects based on a clear political vision. Unlike other businessmen, Thiel is more of an activist than an investor. For example, PayPal was initially intended as an alternative to the American banking system to undermine and eventually overthrow the government; this is what attracted Thiel's attention to the project in the first place. Palantir, it seems to me, is no different.

The fact that JD Vance, a creature of Peter's, is Vice-President clearly demonstrates the power of influence he has achieved to introduce his beliefs into the White House policies.

Which now apparently partially overlaps with the ambitions of the American ones,
