Not just him, it needs to be about them...Elon is the most famous and loudest but the rest are also extremely influential and want the world's views to be shaped on their views. They are the people that founded Paypal, Linkedin, Youtube, Tesla, Yelp etc. And were also some of the early investors in companies like Facebook, Amazon etc. Guys like Thiel were some of the biggest investors into organizations that were fighting to end affirmative action.

PS: It's funny how Peter Thiel, David Sacks and Elon Musk are all in a way or another connected to apartheid South Africa. They either were born, temporarily lived or were raised in apartheid South Africa.
