"Tech Billionaire Peter Thiel: The FBI Informant"

According to a report from Insider, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel may have been an FBI informant, providing information on foreign contacts and Silicon Valley intrigue. The alleged relationship with the FBI began in 2021 and excluded any information about Thiel's domestic political contacts. The report suggests that Thiel was outed as revenge for not investing in a right-wing blogger's startups. Thiel's informant status puts him at odds with parts of the Republican party, which has grown hostile to the FBI amid its investigations of former President Donald Trump. Thiel has urged the FBI to investigate Google for Chinese government infiltration, aligning with his concerns about foreign influence in tech.
