Peter Thiel is putting his money where his mouth is.
The billionaire PayPal cofounder is donating $1.25 million to Donald Trump's campaign, according to a source close to Thiel. Thiel has been a vocal supporter of Trump -- one of the most prominent in Silicon Valley.
He spoke at the Republican National Convention and made history when he declared on stage that he was proud to be gay. Thiel's donation will be given through Super PACs and directly to Trump's campaign, according to the source. This is the first time Thiel will be donating to Trump. The donation was first reported by the NYT.
Silicon Valley throws big money at Clinton and virtually nothing at Trump. Thiel is famous in Silicon Valley for holding extreme, counterintuitive views. He is a rabid libertarian who has invested money to make people immortal, develop floating cities away from the reach of governments and convince young people not to go to college, among other endeavors.
He has become increasingly controversial, after news broke earlier this year that he had funded Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker, ultimately forcing the media company into bankruptcy. Thiel was one of the earliest investors in Facebook (FB, Tech30) and currently sits on the company's board. He has also made investments in Zynga (ZNGA), Reddit and Asana.

ALVEYS..!!
I’m surprised he has not yet been voted off of Facebook’s Board of Directors. Lucky for us.
Lady Gaga looks really good now that she's had plastic surgery...and if she wears LOTS of makeup...and if the lighting is good...and if they do some touch ups to the prints..
HOORAY Thiel
I believe I read where Theil’s company was just sued by “Justice” Dept for discrimination
Got it? Supporting Trump is "extreme".
But lining up like a good little lamb for the most corrupt piece of crap since Evita Peron destroyed Argentina is "normal".
Forgiff me, I don't mean to be ze gawker..!
Mein Gott, zat is ze HUGE improvement..!

Full disclosure: I freaking loathe Glenn Beck.
This 2014, 4 min GB interview with Peter Thiel I think was great.
“The Fed will do ANYTHING they can, will print ANY amount of money in order to make things so that Hillary gets elected..”

“Why Hillary would be a 1 term Prez”
GOOD for Thiel!
Wanna hear his 6 min speech in Ohio to the Republican Convention...?

He’s fantastic and I would totally vote for this faggot..!
When the guy saying we are in a huge, deceptive bubble and that government sucks BUILDS THINGS and is a billionaire, you should listen, I don’t care if he likes pastel colors.
He made his billion(s) and doesn’t need fedgov money and he’s concerned enough to put his money up and assist.
We should respect and value his opinion on Trump. He needs to convince the rest of Silicon Valley to do likewise.
To each his own. He’s a faggot and that’s probably why I wont “vote’ for him. You keep moving the goal line eventually in 10 years time “man, he has the best speech at the RNC. And he’s a transsexual dog turned human”. I do admire his stance while surrounded by leftards in the Valley’.
WOW, so glad I decided to use PayPal today (even if he no longer runs it, I don’t know one way or the other). Maybe he can talk to his pal Omidyar about changing HIS tune?
My my my. Quite frankly we need all the votes we can get. At 3 weeks before the election that means everything. I’m not going to bash this man for voting trump. Some of you are just stupid.
