It would make sense if he used to money to buy TSMC or ASML instead.

Assuming he is correct (I think he is) and Nvidia goes down sharply, it will take AMD, Intel etc. with it. Usually the equipment makers and fabs go down with them, many times even at a higher percentage.

He's seen a better investment opportunity and is maximising his profit to target it. I think this says less about Nvidia than people think. What interests me is what he will put in to? What kind of investment is he targetting? Pet sitting service for after the uplift to heaven has a low ROI. I don't think his eschatology informs his money sense.

Microsoft and Apple? per article. Not very mind-blowing

A parking spot with good return and solidity. I don't think he's staying there at scale for long. Neither want him on the board.

> Over 537,000 shares, which represent nearly 40% of the entire portfolio @190/share this is $102 million Also: > Vistra Energy, another 19% chunk, was wiped out as well. > Moreover, the fund’s turnover hovered over 80%, leaving just three holdings: Tesla, Microsoft, and Apple. Some would argue that tesla is a bigger bubble. > his personal net worth is an eye-popping $16.3 billion as of 2025.

I noticed the article steered around that figure even though it would make sense to spell it out but that wouldn't bolster their gasping thesis.

No need to guess, the article literally states where the money went: > That’s why Thiel rotated into Microsoft and Apple, tech giants with more diversified revenue streams, cloud scale, devices, and software.

Rotated into pain and suffering indeed.

Peter Thiel the guy that believes that the literal biblical antichrist is walking amongst us? How much rational thought can one really expect from this guy? I am not questioning AI being a good investment or not, I am questioning this dude's sanity

No he doesn’t believe that the literal biblical Antichrist is walking amongst us. Uncharitable take

I mean, sometimes if it look like a crazy person and quacks like a crazy person, it’s a crazy person.

Not everything is some great 4d chess conspiracy; sometimes people just believe completely irrational stuff.

I think people like Peter Thiel has the insider view of the whole sector, so I would not discount this just because I don’t align with him on political stuffs. But again we never know his real positions.

I agree that it's very difficult to fully understand what his real positions are, and interestingly I think he clearly wants that to be the case. Peter Thiel is interested in and has actually written extensively about Straussianism which is an intellectual movement obsessed with analyzing esoteric meanings in philosophical literature.

this whole article is about $100 m. - isn't that basically pocket change?
