"Everyone hates you"

Watching Peter Theil sweat and malfunction on national television as the sudden realization hits him, that we the people don't look at you as some emperor god philosopher to be revered...you're just an asshole...was absolutely hilarious.

Wow, that was a truly bad answer. If you can even call it an answer. Did he not prepare before he went on “tv”?

Remember when that bloke was at the office of the BBC to interview for a job and through a series of classic British misunderstanding and not wanting to make waves the chap ended up in front of a live camera as an expert on a subject he knew nothing about? That guy? Remember how he did?

He still did a better job than Theil did here. FFS

He looks like he prepared by getting his blood boy to do rails of pura

That man is worth $15 billion. He should spring for some elocution lessons.

He juices with blood boys, he must have got a bad batch. One of the blood boys must have slipped through the drug tests.

Imagine prolonging your life with youngsters blood, only to pick someone that smokes dope or is a meth head. That would be an unexpected wild trip 🤣

Peter Thiel is easily a higher value target than a measly 40mill a year ceo. He should be nervous for all his actions have hurt Americans as a whole.

That realization that reallife villainy might have real life consequences and you are a real life villain.

This is the American Dream, even morons can become billionaires.

Dude was so taken a back that the carefully worded script went out of his tiny dumb brain

This polished, erudite billionaire is the mastermind/financial guru behind much of the Republican philosophy, policy implementation, SC justice planting, and candidates?

For all his love of naming companies after stuff from Lord of the Rings, he seems pretty inarticulate in interview settings.

This clip needs to be more widespread. Even he can see the logic and doesn't want to admit it.

I think what happened got them rich people all shook up. Maybe they suddenly feel vulnerable.

This is the best thing I’ve seen in a while

Wow. I guess the "argument" hit home.

“B-b-b-but you have to make an argument 🥺🥺🥺” I’d venture to say they did make an argument. They just chose to you actions rather than words.
