Dunno if it's drug or something else, but his eyes always make me feel uncomfortable.

Peter Thiel has a long-standing and significant connection to JD Vance, particularly in the realm of technology and AI,.
Here's a summary of their connection:
Mentorship and Early Career: Vance became a protégé of Thiel, a prominent figure in Silicon Valley known for co-founding PayPal and being an early Facebook investor. Vance met Thiel in 2011, and Thiel's views on technological innovation deeply influenced Vance. This led Vance to pursue a career in venture capital, including working for Thiel's firm, Mithril Capital.
Financial and Political Support: Thiel heavily supported Vance's Senate campaign, making record-breaking donations totaling about $55 million. Thiel also played a role in introducing Vance to Donald Trump and potentially influencing his selection as Vice Presidential pick.

Vance used to work Mithril Capital which is one of Thiel's companies. Thiel then backed Vance's book, Hillbilly Elegy, with a $10M donation. Used his network and media connections to promote Vance's book. Then Vance started a VC firm called Narya Ventures which Thiel invested millions of dollars into. Later, when Vance ran for VP, Thiel donated $15M to the campaign, which is the largest individual campaign donation to a VP in history.
