What events led to Peter Thiel and Musk joining the 'Shenzhen Gang'? How did all this happen?
Many people may not know that a lot of significant events have happened recently, all related to the internal struggles of the 'Shenzhen Gang,' which has drawn in Musk and Peter Thiel. What exactly is going on here? How did this all happen? I personally have a relatively good understanding of the 'Shenzhen Gang,' so let me elaborate for everyone.
Before specifically introducing what happened, let me first introduce the relationships between the key figures. Everyone knows who Musk is, so I won't introduce him. Some of you may not know Peter Thiel, so let me give a brief introduction: he is the man behind Musk and many other big shots in Silicon Valley, known as the 'Godfather of Silicon Valley Venture Capital.'
Peter Thiel co-founded PayPal with Musk in his early years, and after selling it with Musk, he entered the venture capital field. He has invested in companies from Facebook, Airbnb, LinkedIn to SpaceX, OpenAI, Neuralink, and DeepMind. The book 'Zero to One' was written by him, redefining the logic of venture capital, attempting to 'use technology to conquer death,' which is why he is also referred to as a 'thinker in the investment world.'
At the same time, he is also an 'extreme right intellectual promoter' in the United States. Thiel believes that AI will reshape the political landscape and advocates for reduced regulation to promote technological innovation. He uses capital and technology to push an anti-establishment political agenda, becoming the 'mastermind' of the right-wing forces in the U.S. He admires libertarianism and neoconservative philosophy, advocates for elite-led society, and questions the efficiency of democratic systems. Since 2016, he has become an important supporter of Trump, focusing on funding right-wing political figures, including U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, and influencing national security policies through companies like Palantir.
Therefore, Peter Thiel has a significant direct influence on Musk and other Silicon Valley big shots, as well as on the current Trump administration, playing a very important role in the latter's joining of the 'Shenzhen Gang.' So how did Peter Thiel come into contact with and join the 'Shenzhen Gang'? This is related to a British man named Nick Land, who is also a key figure in the internal struggles of the 'Shenzhen Gang.'
Who is this Nick Land?
