Vance only if he addresses Thiel’s Palantir, such data collection is a threat.
That would be like Pinocchio "addressing" Geppetto. :)
Silicon Valley's money and influence will be needed to win, as it has been the last few cycles. Vance is a creation of Peter Thiel - for better or worse. Vance will bring Musk and other tech leaders into the campaign as allies, and none of the others can do that.
It isn't a popularity contest like the Democrats run - it's a uniting of power to gain the rule. The collectivists understand this principle much better than we do, but their woke factions hate each other and without Trump to unite against they will flounder in 2028.
I don't trust a character like Thiel as far as I could throw him, but the United States needs more time to heal and root out election fraud. Vance with the help of Elon's money and X has a better chance of getting that done than the others.
