Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Thiel seems to have way too much control over people like Trump, Musk, and Vance for me to believe they're much more than just flying monkeys.
They might be high ranking flying monkeys, but at the end of the day it's so obvious how he's in complete control and they don't even seem to realize it.
Especially with Musk. I do not trust Elon Musk. Never have and never will. But I can't help but feel some form of pity for him.
There's a know your enemy episode about him where they dive into his childhood and holy shit that dude has got to have some serious cptsd.
He went from being abused and controlled by his own God awful father, to being abused and controlled by Peter Thiel.
From the little I know about their relationship, I do know that so far Peter Thiel has:
•Staged a coup to successfully oust Musk from PayPal
•Set him up as the public face of DOGE to carry out all the plans he had been making since he became involved in Trump's first administration. And therefore take all the public blame.
•Got him ousted from the White House as soon as Michael Kratsios was sworn in.
•Made jokes about "saving" Elon Musk from going to therapy in his first Antichrist talk
•Now he's trying to control where Elon Musk spends his money even after he's dead by using passive aggressive manipulation tactics
Elon Musk has an abusive boyfriend, and he doesn't even realize it.
