    The company’s founder, Peter Thiel, donated $1.25m to Donald Trump’s election campaign.

    Thiel, like Musk, supported Trump for one reason: to further his business interests. Thiel is just less loud mouthy about it and hasn’t (yet) fallen out with Trump. This is what Keir Starters means when he says he’s negotiated a “trade deal” with the US. He has signed your data away to Palantir. This isn’t going to be reversed. There’s nothing the UK can do about it now and Keir doesn’t want to upset Donald more than he already has.

      It’s more than money to these pricks. Yes, that is extremely important but it’s also about reconstituting our societies so that rich white straight men are unquestionably on top and everyone else has nothing. These are Dark Enlightenment pricks.
