In a shocking turn of events, tech mogul Peter Thiel has been hosting off-the-record lectures about the antichrist, warning of an impending Armageddon and identifying potential culprits, including the US and climate activist Greta Thunberg. Thiel's fixation on stagnation has led him to question the efficacy of philanthropy, even going so far as to warn fellow billionaire Elon Musk against donating to The Giving Pledge, citing Bill Gates' alleged left-wing leanings. 'It would be much worse to give it to Bill Gates,' Musk reportedly replied, highlighting the tension between these tech titans. As Thiel's apocalyptic visions gain attention, the question remains: what's driving this billionaire's descent into doomsday prophecy and why should we care?
