As a result of his vociferous support of Donald Trump, people are refusing to do deals with organizations that Peter Theil is associated with<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I find this odd, since Thiel has engaged on a nearly decade long secret vendetta against Gawker<\/a>, and that he is aggressively working on plans to harvest the blood of young people to extend his own life<\/a>. (That is literally vampirism)<\/p>\n

The vendetta, and the blood lust are OK, but the Donald is a bit too far for Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n

They have a very weird set of priorities in the immediate vicinity of Palo Alto:<\/p>\n

The divisions over Peter Thiel and his support for Donald Trump are deepening in Silicon Valley.<\/span>

<\/span> Dismay over the billionaire venture capitalist\u2019s stance on the Republican candidate has been showing up all across the technology landscape — from a startup founder saying he regrets taking a Trump backer\u2019s money to a prominent diversity group refusing to work with any company associated with Thiel. In one recent case, it also throttled the flow of cash into a fledgling VC fund.<\/span>

<\/span> Arlan Hamilton, managing partner at Backstage Capital, said she rejected a potential investor because the person refused to disavow and sever ties with Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies Inc. She declined to name the investor, saying the person offered to put $500,000 in her Los Angeles-based technology seed fund.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thiel has been “Morally Problematic” since his days at Stanford, when he got his start as a venture capitalist by gay bashing and outing fellow students and faculty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fact that he is finally<\/span><\/b> getting shunned, after a lifetime of being a truly awful human being, (He’s also belittled rape victims in the past<\/a>) mitigates against to the conceit in Silicon Valley that they should be viewed as moral avatars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
