I have no idea whether this report is accurate, but given the nature of events and revelations in the past several years – this seems plausible, possibly likely.
In the aftermath of the 2020 election outcome, several people on the more libertarian/conservative side of the political spectrum, were concerned about being targeted by an Obama third term. As the rather revelatory story is told today, that provided the motive for Peter Thiel to cozy up to the FBI and avoid being a target.
Business Insider is reporting that Billionaire PayPal founder Peter Thiel became a “confidential human source” for the FBI in 2021. The outline claims that known FBI informant Charles Johnson brought Theil into the relationship. The exact specifics of what Thiel did for the FBI are unknown.
Overstock founder Patrick Byrne was/is also an FBI asset, using his money in conservative circles to support entities of interest to the government. Byrne provided the seed money for Dave Rubin’s Locals platform. Robert Mercer did the same with Breitbart, and Rebekkah Mercer did the same thing with Parler. Billionaire Paul Singer did the same thing with The Washington Free Beacon.
Interestingly, Peter Thiel has a networked relationship with several people of “conservative” influence – including Tucker Carlson. It is strongly suspected that Thiel is one of the financial backers of Tucker Carlson’s new media venture. {Go Deep}
People often ask me why CTH viciously protects our independence, enjoys staying small and refuses to take lucrative offers for platform expansion. The reality is, The Truth Has No Agenda – but the majority of the characters you run into within the information space generally do. lol.
Eyes of a Mouse…. Ears of an Elephant.
Keep living your best life.
Arena you curious why the FBI leaked a confidential informant? I am.
Human. Are they sure?

It’s a trap!
The FBI will wait and see who responds to that bait.
So who’s he going to inform on...his minion in the Senate, Vance?
As Chairman of Palantir, Thiel is joined at the hip with the intelligence community.

Interesting that your article doesn’t seem to contain all the information that was on a previous one posted here:

Bttt
“I have no idea if this is accurate...”
But I’m going to run with it anyway
It’s what too many Freepers do, and the reason the site has been going downhill for years, now.
And Trump
hey! Jumping to conclusions is the only exercise I get.
I suggest you expand your repertoire.
Zuckerberg and other oligarchs are probably feds too.
Not sure this is a good or bad thing. I don’t think the article really explains what the issue is. Something to keep in mind anyway next time the government tells us they don’t collaborate with rich, famous private citizens.
