"PayPal Co-Founder Hits Back at Tech Companies for Being ‘Useful Idiots’ for China
In a discussion with former National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel went after tech companies and their complicity and cooperation with China.
Speaking of the inhumane treatment of Uyghur Muslims and Google providing AI tech to China, Thiel said, "It’s some combination of wishful thinking. It’s useful idiots, you know, it’s CCP fifth column collaborators. I think if you think of it ideologically or in terms of human rights or something like that, I’m tempted to say it’s just profoundly racist. It’s like saying that because they look different, they’re not white people, they don’t have the same rights. It’s something super wrong."
In 2019, Thiel called for an investigation of Google for its ties to China, saying Google refused to work AI with the U.S. military, and instead decided to work with the CCP."
