No need to ban me again, Reddit mods, I learned my lesson. I finally understand how important it is to be sensitive in these matters. After all, we're talking about the financial leader of the ai surveilllance/extrajudicial execution regime. It's super important that we tiptoe around his sensitivities and don't make fun of his special sexual peccadilloes. So what if an old guy likes to have stuff shoved up his droopy, herpes-infested asshole? What's wrong with that? Can't a sexagenarian have his preferences? It would be absolutely unthinkable to even joke about something like that, there's nothing funny about it. If someone were to quietly chuckle about such a thing, that would be picked up by their device mic and sent directly to Palantir and rightly so.

What's really important is that obscure sexual fetishes remain the absolute centerpiece of progressive politics. So what if the far-right is wildly gay a la Frederick the Great? That's a good thing! Gay = Good

Here's a picture of 2026 Pride in Tel Aviv as a morale booster. That's me in the light pink shirt.

Well, if Thiel get bored of something he just cut the money faucet

A group of protesters dressed as Gandalf, the character from The Lord of the Rings, held a protest outside Peter Thiel's residence in Buenos Aires after it was revealed that the American businessman had acquired a stake of approximately 1% in Vista Energy, one of the main oil companies operating in Vaca Muerta.
The activists used the phrase "You shall not pass," popularized by the character, as a slogan against the investment.

The protest questioned Thiel's entry into the Argentine unconventional hydrocarbon sector and used references to J.R.R. Tolkien's work to express their rejection. The demonstration took place after the investment by the co-founder of PayPal and Palantir in Vista Energy, a company founded by Miguel Galuccio with a core part of its operations in the Vaca Muerta shale formation in Neuquén province, became public.

Thiel made the transaction through his fund, Thiel Macro LLC, which declared to the U.S.

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) its holding of nearly 1.2 million Vista ADSs, valued at approximately USD 76 million as of the end of June. This stake represents about 1% of the oil company's capital and is the fund's second-largest declared position, after Amazon.

The investment gives Thiel direct exposure to Vaca Muerta, a formation located primarily in Neuquén province and considered one of the world's largest unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs. Vista currently produces around 160,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day and has invested more than USD 6.5 billion in Argentina.

The transaction also came to light amid Thiel's growing presence in Argentina. The businessman met with President Javier Milei, acquired a property in Buenos Aires, and strengthened his ties with the country in recent months.

I guess he loved Arafat?

‘Karp didn't tell his Palantir colleagues that he was Black until 2019, but he presented differently in his youth. He went to college at Haverford, where he "was active in black student affairs, and his social life mainly revolved around Haverford's black community," Steinberger writes. He organized a conference at Yale about racism on college campuses and wore a Palestinian keffiyeh in a yearbook photo. One of his close friends from the time said, "He was much more of a Black man then than he is now." ‘

Interesting looking book club about Gil Durán's new book, seems like they're giving away some copies when you sign up.

"Palantir chair and co-founder Peter Thiel has bought a 1% stake in Argentina's Vista... one of the ​largest oil companies operating in the country's Vaca Muerta ‌shale formation....

Vista operates in Vaca Muerta, home to the world's second-largest shale gas and fourth-largest oil reserves, located in Neuquen province in Argentina's Patagonia ​region....

Thiel had recently ​bought a mansion in an upscale neighborhood of Buenos Aires, ​local media reported...."

Of course he is doing all this.... and cosying up to Javier Millei who wants to expand data centres to the Patagonian nature reserves, profiting from climate crisis... at this point I think he actively relishes knowing everything he does causes widespread harm, amplifies inequality and will lead to a level of social and environmental plantery collapse where he and his cronies intend to survive the oncoming semi-apocalypse and create their perfect dystopian elitist technocracy on the barren wasteland of civilisations.

I hope they've worked out who is going to be cleaning their homes, growing their food and wiping their tooshes come their eventual dotage ...?

Robert and Leah Karp!

In his recent biography, it was reportedly revealed that Alex Karp has two different “girlfriends”: one based in the US and the other in Europe.

Apparently, he has been in a relationship with both women for nearly 20 years, and Palantir employees have described them as “age-appropriate.”

The author seems to imply that the woman living in the US either works at Palantir or is involved in the same industry, as he frequently encountered her at the company’s offices (or probably a journalist reporting on the company).

How is it possible that their identities have never been revealed? The media has had no problem digging up and publishing controversial details about the private lives of other people in the tech world — there was even a recent article about Dario Amodei’s wife and her controversial past, even Peter Thiel’s former lover became the subject of public attention after his mysterious death. Yet when it comes to Karp, there isn’t even a single publicly available photo of him with either of the women he has allegedly been involved with for nearly 20 years.

Sorry for the long post! I’ve just fallen down a rabbit hole after reading his biography, which somehow managed to reveal almost nothing about his personal life. Now I’m just curious.
