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.
基于特朗普概念选出俄亥俄州共和党参议员J.D. 范斯作为他的2024年总统竞选搭档的公告，创业家和投资人Ankur Jain建议说，这一举动可能会改变普兰蒂尔科技公司联合创始人彼得·泰尔对特朗普的态度。
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.
发生了什么：Bilt Rewards的CEO Jain在接受CNBC的Last Call采访时指出，科技行业重要人物泰尔与范斯有密切联系，这可能导致泰尔之前的决定不再捐赠给特朗普发生转变。
"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.
“泰尔曾经表示他不会捐赠给特朗普。很明显，他与JD [范斯]关系非常紧密。我想这会改变这种计算方式，” Jain说。

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.
泰尔还是PayPal Holdings Inc.和Founders Fund的联合创始人，曾在2016年大选中公开支持特朗普，甚至向他的竞选捐款逾100万美元。
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月对特朗普政府的立场发生了转变，泰尔对此表示失望，并称其比他预期的更疯狂和更危险。
However, Thiel pledged his support for Trump in the 2024 election, stating that he would rather have Trump than President Joe Biden.
然而，泰尔承诺支持特朗普参加2024年总统竞选，并表示他宁愿有特朗普比乔·拜登总统好。
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.
现在，美国参议员和风险投资家范斯已经入围，泰尔的位置可能会发生变化。范斯曾获得泰尔对其创业公司Narya Capital的支持，也是Rumble Inc.的投资者。
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还强调了新的白宫政府了解科技领袖关切的重要性，特别是在像人工智能这样的领域，以在全球范围内保持美国的竞争力。
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.
为副总统职位选出范斯的公告于周一在密尔沃基的共和党全国代表大会上宣布。特朗普称范斯最适合这一职位，强调了他的才华和贡献。
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-范斯阵营的支持比特币的立场也引起了市场分析师的关注。Inside Edge Capital的创始人托德·戈登预测，比特币（CRYPTO:BTC）可能会超过10万美元，引用潜在政府的支持数字货币政策。
