This. Peter Thiel spent a lot of money trying to fix the NY art scene (aka "Dimes Square"/Chinatown
https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/j-d-vance-dimes-square-the-art-world-new-right-conservatism-1234716130/ ) to culturally match his views (Sam and his cronies went there to shill his mondo megashits) and so far he has failed to make a significant dent.
Much like George Soros though it doesn't mean he doesn't continually try. Dude has a lot of money to throw around and Sam is a natural parasite. I can't think of another "tech billionaire" that Sam would be referring to when he talked about courting one for funding on PGL.
As for Extreme Peace and it's 1 million+ angel investor, Im not sure that's Thiel, I think it's probably a very, very stupid superfan that himself lucked into crypto and felt he "owed" it to Sam because Sam mentioned it in his early content and he might have heard about it from him.
