Peter Thiel, a venture capitalist, is totally obsessed with atoms. He reckons that the good ol’ Manhattan Project, which cooked up the first atomic bomb, was a prime example of how the US government used to actually “get things done.” According to him, the US has been way too focused on “bits” (software) and not enough on “atoms” (hardware), leading to a big ol’ economic slump. Back in 2015, he even wrote that America needed to kickstart a “new atomic age” to whip up some nice, clean energy. And guess what? A whole decade later, he’s got some buddies up in President Donald Trump’s crew who are totally on board with his big ideas. It’s all starting to come together, folks.
The Business section of the newspaper is buzzing with Peter Thiel doubling down on his love for America in the Trump era. Apparently, the US won’t be able to push the world around into buying more gas like it used to. And get this, even the Republicans are starting to lose their crush on Tesla. Things are definitely not looking up for Volkswagen, they’re going from bad to wurst. As if that wasn’t enough drama, there’s talk about how Donald Trump might just swoop in and steal Christmas. And would you believe it? Shopping malls are actually starting to make a comeback in America. It’s like a blast from the past. Don’t forget to keep an eye out, Elon Musk, ’cause those Chinese robots are creeping up on you.
Not really sure why all this matters, but Peter Thiel seems to be onto something with his whole “new atomic age” vibe. Maybe it’s just me, but it’s kinda wild how things are shaping up in the business world. With Trump’s crew backing Thiel’s vision, who knows what’s gonna happen next. And hey, if shopping malls can make a comeback, anything is possible, right? So, brace yourselves for the twists and turns ahead. It’s gonna be a wild ride in the world of business.
