Time to privatize NASA—end all unproductive “science”, focus on real business of space: getting the elite and thought leader class off this world, and let the peasants destroy and squabble over it

[Virgin Galactic @virgingalactic]

SpaceShipTwo, welcome to space.

Not sure why no enterprising businessman has tried cornering the market on PPE masks. I believe 95% of the supply is manufactured by five companies. I might try if no one else has.

San Francisco isn’t even subtle about being a Marxist haven anymore. This shop is the first thing tourists see in the SFO airport. #KarlMarx

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

#UberLyftStrike is troubling inasmuch as it signals drivers realizing they have power over company/investors. We need to flip the equation. I’m in favor of indentured servitude laws or forced labor if that is what it takes to preserve liberty (aka corporate/entrepreneur power)

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

Elizabeth Holmes' only crime was not being able to avoid the wrath of regulators. #libertarian #entrepreneurship #siliconvalley

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

Too bad the #shutdown isn’t going to continue forever. Seemed like a good way to strip govt down, force peasant govt workers into poverty. If only we could privatize what’s left by selling govt to investors—make a true corporate state. #liberty #libertarian

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

@baseballcrank I’m surprised you weren’t disappointed like I was that the movie was about NASA craft and not private spacecraft. Get gov out of space and open to private sector — but then I guess there wouldn’t be a movie. #liberty

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

Excellent news—we cannot trust citizens/teachers/democracies to run schools. Privatize them, teach the students what real liberty and freedom means—putting control back in the hands of rich, business #freedom #liberty

[NOLA.com @NOLAnews]

The Orleans Parish School Board has chosen InspireNOLA Charter Schools as the future operator of McDonogh 35 Senior High School, positioning New Orleans to be the nation’s first major city with an all-charter school district

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

@xjelliott The point is not education. The point of charter schools is to do the right thing and de-democratize them— put power in the hands of innovators, entrepreneurs, not teachers/citizens. #libertarian #freedom

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

No need for votes—outsource border security to private sector. Watch them innovate in border security #liberty #freedom

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Another very bad terror attack in France. We are going to strengthen our borders even more. Chuck and Nancy must give us the votes to get additional Border Security!

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

This silly Mueller investigation would’ve been over months ago if we’d contracted it out to a private investigation firm. Then, if he committed an infraction, prez could have paid a fine like any corporation. #RunTheGovLikeABusiness #liberty

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

The Mueller Witch Hunt is a total disgrace. They are looking at supposedly stolen Crooked Hillary Clinton Emails (even though they don’t want to look at the DNC Server), but have no interest in the Emails that Hillary DELETED & acid washed AFTER getting a Congressional Subpoena!

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

Again, true innovation would be letting Silicon Valley take over border control. With neural network informed surveillance + tracking abilities, tech industry can track and surveill almost anyone on earth more effectively than govt #disruptiveinnovation

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Catch and Release is an obsolete term. It is now Catch and Detain. Illegal Immigrants trying to come into the U.S.A., often proudly flying the flag of their nation as they ask for U.S. Asylum, will be detained or turned away. Dems must approve Border Security & Wall NOW!

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

I don’t agree with Trump necessarily. But I agree with the @CatoInstitute’s white paper that assassination contracts should be open to free market assassins. Competition between mercenaries = quicker, more efficient extrajudicial killings #liberty

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Of course we should have captured Osama Bin Laden long before we did. I pointed him out in my book just BEFORE the attack on the World Trade Center. President Clinton famously missed his shot. We paid Pakistan Billions of Dollars & they never told us he was living there. Fools!..

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

You’re doing good work. Power belongs in the hands of the rich. https://t.co/ZpiX300jjD

[The Intercept @theintercept]

The effort to starve unions of funds and eventually disband them is coordinated by the State Policy Network, an organization that steers right-wing think tanks to advance policies favored by business lobbyists and GOP donors. https://t.co/dWB5NaBm0k

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

Don’t #AbolishICE —privatize it. Let the free market decide who belongs in this country. That’s the true meaning of #freedom #libertarian #libertarianism

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

We need to consider why we have free speech. Seems a gross distortion of market values. Let free speech be like free market—open to those who have earned the privilege only. https://t.co/QMXVw7GGFv

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

If the US would privatize all federal land the border wall would be done tomorrow. #liberty https://t.co/KGDGmhVDSM

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Mexico, whose laws on immigration are very tough, must stop people from going through Mexico and into the U.S. We may make this a condition of the new NAFTA Agreement. Our Country cannot accept what is happening! Also, we must get Wall funding fast.

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

The notion of chemical weapons deployment in Syria is not as problematic as it seems. Is there a market demand for chemical weapons? Then they are just. Let the market decide the morals. #freedom #Libertarian

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

Trump’s strikes on Syria will be worth it if we can eventually privatize the country and sell its assets to the highest bidder.

[Peter Thiel @NotPeterThiel]

Imagine a government with no spending bill at all. Abolish congress. Let corporations run the country. #libertarian #OmnibusBill
