Nate Silver, a renowned pollster, is now working for Peter Thiel, a prominent venture capitalist. This development has sparked significant reactions, particularly due to Thiel's controversial political affiliations and funding of GOP VP candidate JD Vance. Silver's recent activities include speaking at the 2022 All In Summit with notable figures such as David Sacks, Jason Calacanis, David Friedberg, and Chamath Palihapitiya. Additionally, Silver was the keynote speaker at Manifest 2024, a Berkeley conference funded by embezzled FTX money.
