In any event Mr Thiel, a NZ citizen, still owns a great deal of some of NZ's largest or most aspiring technology companies. Perhaps when he realises his investment, some will say he forsake "good will towards the NZ Taxpayer". Good grief, this line of reasoning is surely deeply flawed and there must be better angles to attack the National party, should one wish to, than via Mr Thiel?
