Who Was It Again Who Fled to Argentina?

Because it appears that another son of Germany has, at least temporarily, relocated to Argentina.

I am referring, of course to Peter Thiel, who will be spending, "The next few months," in his newly purchased mansion in Buenos Aires.

Last year, tech fascist guru Curtis Yarvin warned that Trump’s Silicon Valley supporters should prepare to flee the United States in case Democrats retake power. Now, one of Yarvin’s key followers—Palantir co-founder and Antichrist enthusiast Peter Thiel—appears to be heeding his advice.

Thiel has purchased a new mansion in an affluent section of Buenos Aires, according to the New York Post. The billionaire plans an extended stay in Argentina, according to the Buenos Aires Herald, and he met with Argentine President Javier Milei this week.

“Thiel, the 58-year-old founder of online payments processor PayPal and AI company Palantir, is reportedly planning to stay in the country for two months,” reported the Herald on April 23. “He is mostly in a US$12 million house he bought in Barrio Parque, an affluent suburb in Buenos Aires City, local media reported. Thiel and his husband, Matt Danzeisen, saw Milei in Casa Rosada at 2 p.m., together with the country’s Foreign Minister, Pablo Quirno.”

Thiel’s decision to establish a beachhead in Buenos Aires comes as Trump sinks to record-low popularity and the Republican Party heads toward a likely defeat in U.S. midterm elections. It’s the latest move for Silicon Valley's most prominent apocalypse enthusiast, who seems to be wandering the earth anxiously in search of refuge. Over the past few years, he has drifted from San Francisco to Los Angeles to Miami. His plans to create some kind of doomsday estate in New Zealand appear to have fizzled.

(Argentina has a peculiar history as a refuge for rootless fascists. After World War II, it became a primary destination for Nazi war criminals fleeing prosecution via the so-called “ratlines.”)

“Buenos Aires is only the latest square on what amounts to a meticulously constructed global hedge,” reported the New York Post. “Thiel has spent years assembling a portfolio of residences, passports, and legal presences across multiple continents. In New Zealand, he secured citizenship—a process that drew considerable scrutiny given how rapidly it was granted—and with it, residency access across the Pacific corridor including Australia.” 

In addition: “Thiel subsequently acquired a Maltese passport, granting him full freedom of movement across the European Union.”

News of Thiel’s latest home comes as Palantir faces massive public blowback for publishing a 22-point fascist manifesto. In addition, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman—a Thiel protégé who keeps promising that AI will destroy most jobs—recently had a Molotov cocktail thrown at his mansion in San Francisco.

I honestly think that if the sh%$ hits the fan, Peter Thiel will not have to worry about the outraged citizenry extracting vengeance on him.

He's going to be murdered by his own bodyguards once money goes away, in a rather amusing echo of the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (Caligula) by his Praetorian guard.
