Peter Thiel's Ties With JD Vance May Influence Palantir Co-Founder's Position On Trump Post VP Selection, Says Tech Investor
In light of Donald Trump's announcement of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate for the 2024 presidential election, entrepreneur and investor Ankur Jain suggests that this move could potentially alter the stance of Palantir Technologies Inc. co-founder Peter Thiel towards Trump.
基於特朗普概念選出俄亥俄州共和黨參議員J.D. 範斯作爲他的2024年總統競選搭檔的公告，創業家和投資人Ankur Jain建議說，這一舉動可能會改變普蘭蒂爾科技公司聯合創始人彼得·泰爾對特朗普的態度。
What Happened: Jain, the CEO of Bilt Rewards, noted in an interview with CNBC's Last Call that Thiel, a prominent figure in the tech industry, has close ties with Vance. This could lead to a shift in Thiel's previous decision not to donate to Trump.
發生了什麼：Bilt Rewards的CEO Jain在接受CNBC的Last Call採訪時指出，科技行業重要人物泰爾與範斯有密切聯繫，這可能導致泰爾之前的決定不再捐贈給特朗普發生轉變。
"Thiel had said he would not donate to Trump. Obviously, he has very close ties with JD [Vance]. I would wager this changes that calculus," Jain said.
“泰爾曾經表示他不會捐贈給特朗普。很明顯，他與JD [範斯]關係非常緊密。我想這會改變這種計算方式，” Jain說。

Thiel, who is also a co-founder of PayPal Holdings Inc., and Founders Fund, was a vocal supporter of Trump during the 2016 election, even donating over $1 million to his campaign.
泰爾還是PayPal Holdings Inc.和Founders Fund的聯合創始人，曾在2016年大選中公開支持特朗普，甚至向他的競選捐款逾100萬美元。
However, his stance on the Trump administration shifted in November, with Thiel expressing disappointment and terming it as "crazier" and "more dangerous" than he anticipated.
然而，他在去年11月對特朗普政府的立場發生了轉變，泰爾對此表示失望，並稱其比他預期的更瘋狂和更危險。
However, Thiel pledged his support for Trump in the 2024 election, stating that he would rather have Trump than President Joe Biden.
然而，泰爾承諾支持特朗普參加2024年總統競選，並表示他寧願有特朗普比喬·拜登總統好。
With Vance, a U.S. Senator and venture capitalist, now on the ticket, Thiel's position could be in flux. Vance, who has received backing from Thiel for his venture capital firm Narya Capital, is also an investor in Rumble Inc.
現在，美國參議員和風險投資家範斯已經入圍，泰爾的位置可能會發生變化。範斯曾獲得泰爾對其創業公司Narya Capital的支持，也是Rumble Inc.的投資者。
Jain also highlighted the importance of the new White House administration understanding the concerns of tech leaders, especially in areas like artificial intelligence, to keep America competitive on a global scale.
Jain還強調了新的白宮政府了解科技領袖關切的重要性，特別是在像人工智能這樣的領域，以在全球範圍內保持美國的競爭力。
Why It Matters: The selection of Vance as Trump's running mate was announced on Monday, during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Trump described Vance as the best suited for the vice-presidential role, highlighting his talents and contributions.
爲副總統職位選出範斯的公告於週一在密爾沃基的共和黨全國代表大會上宣佈。特朗普稱範斯最適合這一職位，強調了他的才華和貢獻。
The pro-crypto stance of the Trump-Vance ticket has also caught the attention of market analysts. Todd Gordon, founder of Inside Edge Capital, predicted that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) could surpass the $100,000 mark, citing the pro-crypto policies of the potential administration.
特朗普-範斯陣營的支持比特幣的立場也引起了市場分析師的關注。Inside Edge Capital的創始人託德·戈登預測，比特幣（CRYPTO:BTC）可能會超過10萬美元，引用潛在政府的支持數字貨幣政策。
