How Important Is The News Of Peter Thiel Joining The Trump Transition Team?

On February 16, 2025  By newsroom   Topic: Trump-presidency

Three tings to know, from an useful discussion on Hacker News:

1. $1M is a pretty small price to pay to have a 50/50 shot at CTO of the USA. 

2. I'm sure he'll see a very significant ROI on his $1M once the government starts awarding contracts very conveniently to companies of which he owns a portion.

3. Trump doesn't really 'owe' Thiel anything, because Thiel doesn't have direct future influence etc., and Trump doesn't need him in the future.
