Peter Thiel’s Political Wallet: Schizophrenia by the Dollar

Peter Thiel has ended his political sabbatical by plunging $852,200 into GOP campaigns, declaring himself 'schizophrenic' about political giving because 'I think it’s incredibly important, and it’s incredibly toxic.' After ghosting Trump despite initially backing him, Thiel whimsically spreads cash across House Republicans, state parties, and the RNC like a tech billionaire with political FOMO. Despite predicting the 2024 election 'was not going to be close,' his money embarked on a sprawling road trip through 14 states and nearly 30 House members, proving even billionaire strategists can’t resist a decent game of political hopscotch.
