I suspect almost everyone who knows anything about Thiel hates him and wants things to backfire for him. I can’t see him dying, but I could see him hauled up in front of congressional investigations, having the military stop doing business with him, etc.

I am almost surprised it hasn’t backfired on him yet. If you were to pick exactly the kind of person Trump is riling his base up against, it would be Thiel. It seems like it’s only a matter of time before they turn on him.
