Over the weekend, news broke Thiel was donating $1.25 million to Donald Trump’s campaign.Thiel, who cofounded PayPal and Palantir, has been a vocal supporter of Trump. In July, he gave a speech at the Republication National Convention, but this is the first time that he’s directly funded Trump’s campaign.
Thiel, who was an early backer of Facebook (FB, Tech30) and is its longest serving board member, was also responsible for another controversial investment: He secretly financed the Hulk Hogan lawsuit that later killed media site Gawker.
The timing of the donation drew criticism from some in the tech industry, who quickly turned their attention to Y Combinator, where Thiel has been a part-time partner since March 2015.
