KhushalPeter #Thiel and every investor with neo #Nazi ties, far right and #antidemocratic views, should be forced to sell their stakes in #EU companies of strategic interest, including many defence companies in #Germany. This should be done by passing laws at EU or national level.
People like him controlling strategic companies is huge #security risk for EU. It is similar to #Putinites owning strategic companies in EU.
It is important to note that the companies and entrepreneurs are not the problem, but people like #Thiel who have fascist beliefs and seek to influence and power. This must be prevented.
Disinvestment from undesirable actors is regular phenomenon in #USA. One example of this U.S. government pressured Maksym Polyakov to sell his stake (around 58%) in Firefly Aerospace due to national security concerns regarding his #Ukrainian citizenship and potential technology transfers.
ProScience 🇪🇺Do you have specific companies in mind Thiel and other fascists have already stakes in? Or is your post triggered by reported plans of him to get involved? TIA
@proscience I don't want to name those specific companies, but there are multiple companies in defence drones, cyber security, defence robotics, AI as well as VC funds which invest in strategic & security sectors where Thiel and other neo Nazis have investments and influence.
