The Spin

Right narrative

Thiel was a conservative stalwart -- a rarity in Silicon Valley -- who tried to advocate for free speech through his position on the board of the tech giant, which nevertheless succumbed to pressure from the Democrat-led media and implemented measures to supress conservative views.

Breitbart

Left narrative

Thiel is known for being a political contrarian with unfortunate judgement, who was largely responsible for Facebook's controversial decision not to fact-check political ads ahead of the 2020 elections. His politics have finally become a distraction from Meta's business goals as it tries to launch itself into the metaverse.
