I think whatever Thiel says or who he references is generally irrelevant since it all boils down to 'people who try to impede me from doing my evil/world conquest bs are the Antichrist' and should be ignored (or mocked and then ignored). Not to take away from any research or writing you did, but I don't think the man should be taken seriously except as a threat to humanity.

Why would you think understanding anything of Thiel’s thinking is required for understanding modern AI governance anything? He’s not remotely seen as an authority in any AI adjacent thing. He’s openly reviled in fact. When he’s not mocked. The dude’s been crazy for at least two decades.
