"Over the past month, Thiel has hosted four lectures on the downtown waterfront of San Francisco philosophizing about who the antichrist could be and warning that Armageddon is coming. Thiel, who describes himself as a small-o Orthodox Christian, believes the harbinger of the end of the world could already be in our midst and that things such as international agencies, environmentalism and guardrails on technology could quicken its rise."
"Thiel was on the forefront of conservative politics long before the rest of Silicon Valley took a rightward turn with Donald Trump's second term as president. He's had close ties to Trump for nearly a decade, is credited with catapulting JD Vance into the office of vice-president, and is bankrolling Republicans' 2026 midterm campaigns. Making his early fortune as a co-founder of PayPal, he has personally contributed to Facebook as its first outside investor, as well as to SpaceX, OpenAI and more."
Peter Thiel hosted four lectures on San Francisco's downtown waterfront focusing on the Antichrist and warnings of Armageddon. He identifies as a small-o Orthodox Christian and believes the harbinger of the end times could already be present, with international agencies, environmentalism, and technology guardrails potentially accelerating its rise. Thiel has deep political influence, long ties to Donald Trump, helped elevate JD Vance, and is funding Republican 2026 campaigns. He made his fortune co-founding PayPal, invested early in Facebook and in companies like SpaceX and OpenAI through Founders Fund, and co-founded Palantir, which holds major government contracts.
