Thiel is worse simply as he's more powerful and can get more done. This guy's machinations brought the current president to power, silicon valley never would've surrendered to the party enough for them to win without thiel and his help, which is much much more involved than we know.

Then we must consider, doge, the fake non congressionally made illegal agency, that hired non senate approved leaders, was staffed by young men recruited from Thiel/Yarvin/et al's drug fueled parties, and groomed them, to access and export all government agency data to their (and other sources as they secretly agreed,) secret data banks.

That information in the hands of these people, in combination with what they already have, and their political connections, is far more dangerous than one might realize. It is dangerous in ways not apparent. Information is power and they had too much before.

Ellison has nothing like that going on to that degree. He's a tool, a piece of shit, but he's no Dr. Evil as Thiel is.

Ellison is just as dangerous. He is behind the dangerous digital ID scam in Europe
