All other considerations aside "Thiel-backed" guarantees all by itself that it's technofascist bullshit explicitly intended to benrfit the oligarchs at the expense of everyone else.

Absolutely. Thiel-backed is a red flag hoisted on a flagpole whose tip reaches just below the ISS, whose width is at least 1000 football fields long, which is illuminated at all times by 5000 spotlights, and which is simultaneously and counterintuitively on fire despite the lack of oxygen at that altitude.

The flag is a dumpster, and is on fire.

Even if you were somehow able to overcome the "can" question, the far more meaningful question is "will it do so fairly", and it's absolutely certain it will not. If you agree the problem of the justice system is that rich people own it, this is not the solution to that problem. This literally is that problem.
