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

Are you sure he has more influence? If you were to rephrase this as “why does Peter Thiel get more media coverage than other billionaires” the answer would be very easy.
IIRC Bernard Arnault (number 5) has his paws on a ton of things in Europe, but you don’t hear about it because he’s just not that much of a nut.
I am french and definetly know about Bernard Arnault owned medias. I had never heard about Peter Thiel
That’s the guy that took over lvmh? There’s also that weird USA guy, I can’t remember his last name, that (used to?) pal around with Thiel with Anti-Human ideas. Starts with a Y, I believe.
Yes he’s the ceo of lvmh
Yes, he’s rather cut-throat in business, from what I’ve read. Some say cunning, others say unscrupulous, I guess it’s a bit of both. But I can’t recall having read any of his political views, can you share some, and which politicians he’s influenced?
Im not too sure but he sounds like your standard right wing liberal economics guy from what ive heard. There’s also Bolloré who owns medias in france and this one is super right wing conservative and basically imported fox news in France (called Cnews)
That’s the thing. I don’t recall Thiel getting much press until I started really honing in on him. I’m sure he probably did, but rather it’s like the “new thing effect,” where one doesn’t notice a particular thing until one acquires that thing, then suddenly notices lots of those things, everywhere. But he does seem extraordinarily influential, whether it’s just me beginning to notice or he actually is.
