Episode Synopsis

Billionaire investor Peter Thiel has been many things—PayPal co-founder, Silicon Valley kingmaker, libertarian mastermind, and more. In this episode, the Digital Desperados gang unravel the tangled web of Thiel's career, from his early days in PayPal's "Mafia" to his eyebrow-raising ventures in surveillance, politics, and even cryoginics (yes, he wants to be frozen and revived).  Is he a brilliant disruptor or just another billionaire bending the rules – or both? Did he really bankroll Hulk Hogan's revenge against an online tabloid? And what's with his obsession with Lord of the Rings? We're connecting the dots between Thiel, tech, and the dark corners of the internet and beyond.  Tune in for a crazy story of money, power, and digital desperados. And don't forget—while Thiel might be watching the world, who's watching your online security? Stay protected with SaferNet.  🔗 SaferNet.com – Because even billionaires need cybersecurity.
