As far as I can ascertain, Peter Thiel* is the 103rd richest man on the planet, with a reported net worth of $20.5 bn US. How and why does his influence reach farther than so many others? (kbin.earth)

Title. I honestly think he is genuinely more clever than the richer, more glory hogging power players, but that's just a guess.

Thank you! I have no idea when my real cake day is, I came to kbin.earth after kbin.social faltered. But this cake day is as good as any, and Lemmy is the gift that keeps giving, so thanking nutomic and dessalines, for tireless dedication.

Cheers!
