Leak lists members of Peter Thiel’s 'Dialog' society

financeJun 17, 2026589,113

A leaked roster exposed more than 200 attendees registered for Peter Thiel’s private Dialog retreat, with WIRED obtaining a list of 220-plus people slated for the 2026 Ireland gathering. The list names US senators Cory Booker and Ted Cruz, governors Jared Polis and Wes Moore, EU figures Kaja Kallas and Jens Spahn, and public intellectuals such as Jonathan Haidt and Ezra Klein. Associated program documents show off-the-record sessions titled 'Bring Back Nuclear,' 'Build-a-Cult,' 'How’s Your Sex Life?' and 'Navigating WWIII,' plus an app offering matchmaking. Because Dialog is an invitation-only network that convenes government officials, military leaders and Silicon Valley executives, the exposure of records organizers promised would stay private raises concrete questions about elite coordination and privacy.

NEW: A trove of internal records from Dialog, the secret society cofounded by Peter Thiel, was left exposed online. WIRED obtained a second cache of records that reveal who's really attending, how they're screened, and what personal details they were promised would stay private.

Stay tuned. There will be more.

It's a collection of the dumbest, scummiest humans alive, except they have the money and connections to make all their apocalyptic fantasies come true.

'A source separately provided WIRED with the registration list for Dialog's 2026 retreat, which names 222 people and records what the list describes as each registrant's membership status and attendee type, including “active member” and “guest.”' Dell, will you be publishing this list?

briween105

the very existence of secret societies run by hyper-rich cryptofascists says where we are, but at least they're secret think of what it would mean if they were overt societies

I swear hate melts you, like literally. You ever notice when really hateful people get old their skin starts to sag a lot? Meanwhile look at modern Danny DiVito. He's gotten old sure, but he looks healthy and friendly. Hes a cool guy to hang around with probably :)

Murderers As Leaders60

How are both @agawande.bsky.social (USAID) and Elon Musk (destroyed USAID) in there? @agawande.bsky.social can you explain this, and any interactions you have both had in the group?

Tony Roberts40

Got to be embarrassing to the big brain techbros of the PayPal Mafia that they can't manage basic data protection of this sensitive data. Blush! 😧

Benzo Ferrari39

Tommy Wiseau confirmed as a Dialog member

White? Check. Racist? Check. Non-white Depopulation advocate? Check. Hopelessly AI-pilled? Check. Awkward socially? Check.

Pen Monsterrrrrrrrrr~!33

It just means Luigi now has a list.

Curmudgeon Coach29

Peter Thiel is a White Christian Fascist who’s committed to the destruction of democracy.

Kaia26

I love this paragraph: “None of the individuals named in this story responded to requests for comment. Raffi Grinberg, who lists himself as Dialog’s executive director on his LinkedIn profile and is the author of the self-help book How to Be a Grown-Up, did not respond to a request for comment.”

These assholes need their wealth redistributed.

“Matchmaking” so Thiel can build a dirt file

dw-farrell.bsky.social21

I'm not shocked at some of the names on the list. For me though I didn't have Joseph Gordon Levitt being a member of a techocult on my BINGO card.

Dr. Marina Archer21

What a scoop. These overlords, wannabe overlords and their vassals are already planning their medieval version of the 21st century. The majority of people will just be a permanent underclass - if they even survive. It is UP v. DOWN.

Rachel20

Wired continues to do the Lord's work in a dark time while traditional media barks like a dog.

Dana Knows Insanity When She Sees It. 🥊🐸19

Is that why Jim Himes endorsed Jay Clayton for DNI? Because that made me really doubt and question Rep Jim Himes immediately!

angie4advocacy.bsky.social16

This is the Epstein elite donor class being exposed for it's policy agenda like the wars in the Middle East, detaining immigrants, expansion of both AI and data centers also private equities quest dominance in the Western Economy.

Jean Krak16

“The 2014 retreat drew renewed attention this year when its invitation list, which included the financier Jeffrey Epstein among roughly 150 invitees, surfaced in the US Justice Department’s release of the Epstein files. It remains unclear whether he attended or not.”

Sock Puppet Pundit15

Are there any people who make under the average US household income in that group? Didn't think so.

Bamboozer13

Thiel makes the Fascists look good by comparison, he's had enough of democracy and is tired of we peons making a mess of it. I've had more then enough of the evil Tech Bros in general, they mean us no good.

candy12

There aren’t enough guillotine blades on the planet for the cleaning up we have to do.

Mimi Rosen12

I can’t for the life of me understand why these tech elites would want to accelerate societal collapse. They have fortunes enough to escape without ruining it for everyone else.

Jason Sorensen11

If it turns out this is how Cory Booker met his wife, reality will have truly jumped the shark

coyoteblu.bsky.social10

Sounds like the Koch brothers 2.0! People with money always think they are smarter and better than everyone!

dragonfly55.bsky.social10

Spill the beans!!! And this company secures our military and govt data????????

Dizzygirl9

How is everyone not sick of these rich assholes?

Jolly Confused9

Some of these people are toxic. Why would Kaja Kallas want to spend even 5 mins in a room with them? I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a stick than breathe the same air as Elon Musk, Ted Cruz and Leonard Leo.

Pete Rhomberg9

Ezra Klein being in this is disappointing but not surprising. I’d chalked up his decline to joining the NYT pundit-sphere (from which it seems only Bouie and Krugman got out unscathed), but him being part of Thiel’s secret society probably as much if not more to do with it.

argle-bargle8

@nytimes.com should fire Bret Stephens immediately if he failed to disclose his participation in this bullshit.

Ann T. Social8

Read it. Bottom line? Rep. Jim Himes is attending. Is that something he’s telling his constituents?

Captain Coal8

This makes a lot of sense when you look at how Ezra Klein went from a below average student, mediocre white man, directly to being "the voice of reason" for the entire Democrat party, with almost nothing in between.

Too Many Squirrels8

Look at those cold, dead eyes.

So there actually IS A CABAL!

Welcome to the party pal!7

These pukes. Wrecking our world. Ushering in authoritarian regimes and surveillance states. F them all.

Michael Sicinski6

Bret Stephens? Who knew Peter Thiel has bedbugs?

Rose6

Thiel, his puppet Vance, and the rest of the Billionaires & Trillionaires are seriously mentally ill.

Citizen, Interrupted6

Why do those people have to be so creepy? With all that money and all that time in their hands, why can't they act like normal people?

p.sparrow (Patrick)6

Would love to see all of the answers to the matchmaking questions, esp. Cruz & Bookers answers.

Irving Washington6

Wait, what? You’re telling us that the evil cabal, ruining the society is not made of poor immigrants, transgenders and brown people?

Meyeselph6

My real take away is that anyone who is on 'our side' who isn't fighting fascism aggressively might not just be in it for the money. They might be doing self preservation because demagafication investigations might scoop them up too since they are toadying in the wealthy back rooms.

Stop the DonCon fascist coup6

Wired has so many scoops lately. Love it. Great job. Yay real journalists

GOP is a FRAUDULENT Organization.6

Thiel is one of the darkest mother fuckers there is

"panels on cult-building" Like... a how-to guide?

harrison-bergeron.bsky.social5

Images of Peter Thiel always look like they've been taken with a filter called "fuck up my face".

Jesus they sound almost cartoonish with some of those “workshop” names….

A secret society of elites run by billionaires you say‽‽

@grubb.wtf not sure if you've been following this one but Sarah Bond has been outed as a member of Peter Thiel's secret society lol

WatGal 🇨🇦4

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social Ezra Klein is part of this secret society? 😮 @nytimes.com @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Photoonist4

It’s almost like an Ayn Rand novel.

Your Liberal Friend4

Are we sure this isn't a fantasy list Thiel created? Anyone can make a list. Other than this list, which was kinda made to be found, what independent proof exists that anyone on the list is actually willing involved.

rklantian4

Bohemian Grove Meets Klaus Schwab. Pay at the door.

lin11c4

How utterly gross and creepy, just like the founder of this sick Epstein Class sleepover party. I checked the list someone posted in the comments (not sure if it's real) and it looks like 1% of the attendees are women? 😆💩 Sounds about right for these scum suckers.

charcusms.bsky.social4

Just more nasty men hiding about the globe ashamed of their actions- So the Bohemian Club was too tame for these schmucks?

Little bits4

i bring shit like this up to my rep and his aide just laughs at me. Starting to feel like Dale mother fucking gribble out here. :/

Silly Rookie3

Oh rad, that was real, huh? Someone ask Cory Booker about why he's on the list. I wonder if any wayback machine instances of the site have any PARTICULAR names...

Zerk3

Are there any German officials/politicians included? The previous html leak mentioned Jens Spahn.

Ursula Zandt3

I was not surprised that Ezra Klein is on the list, but the CEO of Chipotle??? It's so random.

gigi133.bsky.social3

Alot of names I was disturbed to see.

This conspiracy of evil-doers must be ended.

Brian Keith Jackson3

I don't even need to read the article. I know the signs Dungeon activity when I see it. Argentina is not that much different from Germany.

Brian Dear3

Oh cut it out with “world’s elites.” I know one of those listed, at least 20yrs. Nothing but a hanger-on, hustler, always chasing after money, VCs, founders, desperate to freshen the network. Total charlatan, emailing me on my birthday each year until I said to get lost. No surprise they’re listed.

Chris Ozols3

"Your registration has been highly discounted. Use discount code INSIGHT22." Gelman got a 70% discount code. To Temu Bilderberg.

The man hoovering up every person's information in order to profile them and hold the data against them has had HIS 'secret society' data leaked??!? Delicious.

badgersnmaps.bsky.social3

One can only hope that these are in effect scam artists holding high priced lectures to gullible rich people about how to find faeries and summon ghosts

Sniffit2

We need to start making clear that there is nowhere we will allow these plutocrat KKKristofascists and oligarch cunts to hide. Argentina is not far enough, Peter. Absolutely nobody showing up on these lists can be trusted whatsoever. Period. Dems included. Himes, Booker, et al. Get 'em gone.

@altnps.bsky.social

This is interesting. More than 200 of the world’s political, financial, and tech elites registered for a private retreat organized by Dialog, the secretive invitation-only network co-founded by billionaire investor Peter Thiel.

According to reporting, the retreat’s agenda covered an astonishing range of topics from panels on cult-building and sex to discussions about preparing for a potential World War III scenario. Attendees also reportedly had access to an associated app that offered networking and even matchmaking.

we have *got* to stop using the word “elites” when referring to these rapacious sociopaths

Is this thd one Corey Booker was listed on?

Including @booker.senate.gov it's no wonder he does so well at securing donations for the Democrats when he's part of the Thiel Palantir and Musk SpaceX package.

An Epstein class spinoff, or extension?

Of course it’s private. They don’t want the plebes to watch them drinking the blood of infants.

They read about Big Brother in 1984 and decided they liked that idea!

Week-long retreat on how to become richer while embracing Nazi attitudes towards all of the people you are ripping off! Special sessions on planning your own redoubt incase people go revolution on us, and evading restrictions limiting your data center by paying state officials (speaker: Elon Musk).

Uncle Junior2

The list also included plenty of “good guys” including: Preet Bharara, Corey Booker, Julian Castro, Jim Himes, Garry Kasparov, Ezra Klein, Lisa Monaco, Wes Moore, Daniel Pink, Jared Polis, Larry Summers, and more. Perhaps THEY could share the facts about what’s REALLY going on behind the scenes.

So, another circle jerk for wealthy men. Like the Grove. The same kind who "arranged" the world after each WW for their benefit. Every time the hoi polloi moves toward progress, they band together to destroy it.

Governor Jared Polis from @colorado.gov is on the 2nd page as well.

LG13

It is satisfying that NO ONE is surprised by Ezra Klein being on this list.

Richard10

Blows my mind. Politicians run as Democrats. You assume they're on your side. A lot of them, at the end of the day, just aren't.

El Topo 🍁7

I have no idea what the rea$on could po$$ibly be.

GrayLemur6

These societies often invite liberal speakers on a one-time basis, and them claim them afterwards as fellow travelers or members, even if they’re not. It’s a slimy effort to soften the Right’s awful image.

DrEnglish4

Kasparov surprised me the most but yeah, all you listed here. WTF? I avoid all businesses associated with Thiel, and this list just makes me ill.

Michelle Nayeli ✨3

In the original post, they say this could also include speakers, it’s not 100% clear they are members For some of the best of us on that list, I would see what they have to say in response, and remember the record of their actions… actions, always speak, louder than words

Feathered Stone3

A pox on both democrats and republicans

Wes Moore, Neal Katyal too

Irritable Yet Soporific2

What if it was meant to be found to discredit certain people?

Holy crap. Wes Moore, Democratic governor of Maryland, the state in which I reside. Can I hope that any of these people might have been there just in the interest of seeing what was going on? (Can I be this naive at age 58? Sigh.)

"Dialog’s 2026 retreat agenda runs from panels on cult-building and sex to prepping for World War III." So there really is a cabal of the wealthy and powerful meeting to plot how to (continue to) rule the rest of us, and how they're going to escape the collapse they're creating.
