  • Thiel said that after working in the tech industry, he would find it too frustrating to work for the government.

Peter Thiel, a prominent tech investor and co-founder of PayPal, has expressed that he would not accept a full-time position in Donald Trump's administration if Trump were to win the 2024 presidential election. During a speech at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Thiel mentioned that taking such a role would make him "depressed and crazy," highlighting the intense pressure and scrutiny that come with government positions. Despite his reluctance for a full-time role, Thiel has been a significant financial backer of Trump, contributing $1.25 million to a super PAC supporting Trump's 2020 campaign. He also voiced concerns about the political environment, suggesting that the U.S. is facing deeper issues than just the choice between Trump and Biden, and criticized the lack of progress in areas like AI and nuclear energy due to political distractions.
