Ahhhhh... This explains the latest #SouthPark episode! (And yeah, I'm not hip on everything spouted off by #techbros!) Also, it sounds like Thiel is describing #TrumpIsAFascist ! Curtailing individual freedoms? Halting innovation? Trump's doing a great job of doing that! 😱

Exclusive: #PeterThiel in talk on '#Antichrist' says he told #ElonMusk not to give #wealth to #charity

By Jeffrey Dastin
October 9, 2025

"Peter Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist and early supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, has urged long-time associate Elon Musk to quit the #GivingPledge under which signatories leave the majority of their wealth to #charity.

"In transcripts and audio of lectures given by Thiel and shared with Reuters, Thiel in September recalled how he recently warned Musk that his wealth would go 'to #LeftWing nonprofits that will be chosen by #BillGates.'

[...]

"Thiel told the anecdote during a closed-door, four-part, eight-hour lecture series he gave during the past month in San Francisco, in which he discussed his concern that a figure he describes as an 'Antichrist' could emerge on the global stage.

"Though the German-American entrepreneur is famous as Vice President JD Vance's political benefactor and as a technology investor, betting early on Facebook and co-founding Palantir, he has recently devoted time to presenting his theological views.

"In particular, Thiel says he has grown wary that an Antichrist will emerge who will create a one-world government on the promise of something like stopping nuclear, AI or climate-induced disaster.

"That figure, who Thiel says is augured by the Christian bible, would curtail individual freedoms and halt humanity's shot at a future innovation that would avoid Armageddon, Thiel believes."
