Peter Thiel relocates to Argentina, New York Times profile

financeMay 28, 202612210,466

Peter Thiel has relocated his family to Buenos Aires, Argentina, buying a mansion and enrolling his children in a local school, the New York Times reports. Thiel told the New York Times he moved because he fears for the United States' future, citing risks such as nuclear war and runaway artificial intelligence, and he has cultivated ties with Argentina's right-wing president. By establishing residence and local ties, Thiel is creating a physical base that could shift investment, talent, and political influence toward Argentina.

Peter Thiel is heading to his spiritual homeland of Argentina, following in the historical footsteps of thousands of other deeply problematic men with the exact same haircut.

It is the way for a Röhmosexual like him.

I did Nazi that coming, said nobody. Also the guy has 5 billion in his Roth IRA. Yeah, that's totally legit and not a scam at all.

@KeepItBlueDems.bsky.social27

Lots of Nazis escaped to Argentina. Funny, he is joining them.

sounds rather Nazi like to me

This old Haus16

When I was young, Argentina as a haven for fugitive Nazis -- many still living then -- was a universally understood trope and standing (dark) joke. Thiel doing this has resonance for people of a certain age.

I understand he went to a high school in S. Africa that was basically un-reconstructed Nazi sympathizers.

He said last year he would leave if they were losing. He had posted and deleted it. That they wouldn’t be safe given everything so they would all need to leave

Just as I thought: the PAB can't take the heat (everyone hates him and his cabana boy, Vance).

I hear Buenos Aires is the eyebrow transplant capital of the world.

home of Nazi punks and pukes. following a long standing tradition. wish he could take JD Vance with him.

Boom. He’s only missing a wee little mustache.

All that free US government money …..to spend living in Argentina.

Pete Quily7

I wonder what Peter Thiel did to Donald Trump or his administration that he has to flee to Argentina? And when will this information come out?

Josh Manning7

And skin color. And abetment of crimes against humanity.

I definitely did Nazi this coming.

I have great hope that Trump and the entire GOP on the Government Payroll will be "deported" with him! We could skip all the impeachment expenses. Please send all GOP Governors too until the reapply for their green cards.

Grimalkin Wyrd2

Is he taking his waterboy Vance with him?

bronstein-nematode.bsky.social2

When I think of Trump being exiled thru impeachment or clogged arteries, my enthusiasm is tempered by remembering the country would then be turned over to Peter Thiel in the form of his sock puppet JD Vance. Talk about a no win situation.

The only upside, p'haps, is that for many a Nazi, popping off to Argentina did not extend their lifespan significantly.

When a Democrat takes back the presidency, seize the assets of all the people who tried to take away our democracy.

civil4liberties.bsky.social2

Thiel got JD in the Senate and introduced him to trump. With a plan to get trump elected POTUS. And the NRx oligarch deal was: They get their NRx agenda in the WH administration. And trump’s legal problems go away. He becomes a powerful “king” billionaire POTUS. JD has referenced Curtis Yarvin.

Gil Durán
@gilduran.com

Peter Thiel's interest in New Zealand and Argentina traces back to the 1997 book "The Sovereign Individual," which argued that technology would collapse nation-states like the USA in the 21st century. Almost 30 years later, he is still chasing the "prophecy" (now AI and Antichrist-enhanced)

Screenshot of Nerd Reich newsletter excerpt: Thiel believes that the United States—and most nation-states—will experience a dramatic collapse in the 21st century as technological advances create widespread economic and political chaos. His beliefs were largely inspired by The Sovereign Individual: How To Survive and Thrive During the Collapse of the Welfare State, a 1997 book which predicted that crypto and AI would collapse the existing world order. It advised savvy investors—a new class of so-called “cognitive elites”—to prepare for this reality by acquiring extra passports and exiting the USA for remote parts of the world.

“Thinly populated regions with temperate climates, and a large endowment of arable land per head, like New Zealand and Argentina, will also enjoy a comparative advantage because they enjoy high standards of public health and are low-cost producers of foods and renewable products,” wrote James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg in The Sovereign Individual.

“A good marker for the viability of cities is whether those living at the core of the city are richer than those on its periphery,” they wrote. “Buenos Aires, London, and Paris will remain inviting places to live and do business long after the last good restaurant closes in South Bend, Louisville, and Philadelphia.”

I genuinely wondered what he planned to do when some pirates came to his “sovereign island” and demanded all his stuff in exchange for not sawing his legs off

I don't care much for that fellow. No sir, not much at all I'm afraid.

If Thiel weren’t so wealthy, he would be viewed simply as an unremarkable, neurotic white man.

Alphistia5

Argentina has a long history of political and social instability. Thiel is a control freak (like Musk and so many other tech bros), and most likely he will find out Argentina's volatility is not to his liking. And he won't like Uruguay either...they are MUCH too kind for the likes of him.

The Best Captain5

These dudes are so weird. Self-indulgent little pricks.

Lolita 🙋🏻‍♀️5

Thiel has been giving talks to small private groups that he believes if we fight AI from coming into society we will bring about the Antichrist! He is saying this!! That’s why he wants Vance in Presidential power so he can push AI with no regs. Also believes there will be 1 world leader!? 🤬 insane

Joel Dane4

Reese-Mogg as in the other Reese-Mogg?

CalleyCat3

So he just swallowed this speculation, convinced he's a genius, but no where capable of imagining or creating a healthier trajectory for the future. 🤔

johnnytone.bsky.social3

No matter what label you give to "elites", the same thing will happen to them when the nation-state collapses that has always happened to them before.

So the tech broligarchs have been trying to hasten the tech apocalypse in order to force the reset, so they can come out on top after crawling out from their bunkers. Got it. Sounds strikingly like Christian fundamentalist end times-hastening, to me, except the techies aren’t looking to be raptured.

It was called the Rat Line for a reason

Cooper Hamilton10

Theil's emulating some very infamous fascists: Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele, Erich Priebke, Walter Kutschmann, Josef Schwammberger, Walter Rauff, Franz Stangl, Gerhard Bohne and many other small fish. The escape routes were called Rattenlinien (yes, Ratlines).

ChristineAa6

He may go to Argentina, but he's already infiltrated critical government agencies here. Palantir Technologies—the data-mining and AI company co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel—is extensively integrated into 27 U.S. federal government defense, intelligence, and civilian agencies.

Argentina wouldn’t be no1 on my list of safe havens tbh

“The billionaire's new roots in Argentina are said to be partly motivated by concerns about the future of the United States and shared beliefs with Argentinas right-wing leader.” But the US and Argentina are run by essentially the same ideologies lmao what

Granuailynn3

He can move down w/ the other Nazis & their offspring today, IMHO & MAGATS fail to understand “projection”& that every accusation is a confession, so lil’sociopath Petey’s obsession w/ “the Antichrist” is simply an attempt to deflect from his obsession w/himself🤷‍♀️

Amend America3

Now all we need to do is take away his ability to infect our political system with his wealth. We've created a constitutional reform amendment that: -Gets ALL private money out of politics -Protects voting and human rights And much more. Full text drops July 4th. Follow us and stay tuned!

OK, as long as he takes Palantir with him and cancels all contracts he and his companies use to extract billions from us. #ThielisAParasite

Isn’t that where a lot of euro Nazis fled with all their stolen wealth at the end of the last Nazi shit-show under false identities as escaped Jews. I suspect lot of others fled to the stolen land newly established as Israel now Zionist Nazi Israel also under false identities.

Trump gave Argentina $46 Billion dollars.

As soon as he realized his puppet JD won’t run for prez, it dawned on Evil Nazi billionaire Peter Thiel that he should git while the gittin’s not going to toss him in the clink and flush the key.

Thiel's worried the trial of dead boyfriends will finally catch up with him in the US.

So the Presidio is still in a jurisdiction where he could be hanged for his I’m-not-gay crimes against humanity?

calirn.bsky.social5

It's interesting to see he's moving to a predominantly Catholic country while he badmouths the Pope. I don't think he will find safe refuge there. The country is unstable, his money won't change that.

Did he bring his 40 billion like the old fat guy has stashed down there? Maybe they'll all meet up in Buenos Aries😎

Peter Thiel, the right-wing tech billionaire and Trump donor, has a history of collecting backup countries as he hedges his bets against the U.S. Now, he's considering Argentina, two people said, motivated by the future of the U.S. and shared beliefs with Argentina’s right-wing leader.
