Peter Thiel

2004

PayPal co-founder and venture capitalist (Founders Fund, Thiel Capital); co-founder and chairman of Palantir Technologies (2003). A central node of the Silicon-Valley-to-national-security pipeline: Palantir was seeded by the CIA's In-Q-Tel, Eric Weinstein was managing director of his Thiel Capital, and he later backed the defense-tech firm Anduril. In the UAP conversation he cited Diana Pasulka's research, arguing faster-than-light tech would functionally resemble the angels or demons of religious tradition.
