| Are we forgetting the part where he bought twitter because of a joke, got sued over it for manipulating twitter's stock price, tried to buy his way out by buying twitter, realized it would cost too much money and tried to back out, got sued again and finally was more or less forced to follow through on the purchase? Are these the actions of a man following a well thought out plan to elect a president? |

| We all know why he did it: because people wrote on and listened to twitter a lot, and he didn't like what they said. He wanted to control the conversation that was unfavourable to him. |

Same thing Thiel is doing for political control: attempting to inherit the religious right from MAGA -perhaps on behalf of hos protegé. Thiel's plans will likely outlive the movement's leader and/or go beyond 2028, it's a race against time to establish his bona fides while the sun shines | |

| I do, but think that that's orthogonal from the constant positive affirmations to all of his random thoughts. That's a sensation bought. |
