This man trusted Mark Zuckerberg when nobody else did. He invested $500,000 into Facebook and it became $1 BILLION. Now, he's betting it all on a new trend that could kill humanity. Here’s how Peter Theil spots opportunities before everybody else: Peter Thiel isn't your average billionaire. His investments reshape the world: • Co-founded PayPal • First Facebook investor in 2004 • Early investor in Airbnb and Spotify And his most intriguing bet is happening right now... Thiel is heavily investing in artificial intelligence. More recently, he's also backed AI startups like Anthropic and Synthesia. He asks 1 controversial question: "What important truth do very few people agree with you on?" It's the core of Thiel's investment strategy. This led him to back some of the most influential companies of our time: • Stripe – revolutionizing online payments • Palantir – using data analytics for defense • Ethereum – powering the future of decentralized finance
