14. Thiel funded merger of Musk's first venture X with Thiel's Cofinity forming PayPal

Thiel has become a fundie lately. For the past two years he's been a Silicon Vallie evangelist focusing on prophecy and the Antichrist. His ideas about Armageddon are borrowed heavily from a Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt who defended Hitler. For Thiel, an investor who lit the financial fuses on both Facebook and the AI revolution, who cofounded PayPal and Palantir and who launched the career of an American vice president, Thiel believes the antichrist will come, not surprisingly, in the form of an AI doomer. More likely, Thiel financed the AntiChrist's 2024 election campaign by donating heavily to Trump and getting Trump to pick Vance, also financed by Thiel along with Zuckerberg and Musk, as VP. When the scapegoat dies, the AntiChrist will be president.
