Billionaire tech mogul Peter Thiel, who was a major donor to Donald Trump during the 2016 election, says he will not be making any political donations to Republicans in 2024.
Thiel donated $1.25 million to Trump in 2016. Speaking to The Atlantic, he said voting for Trump was "like a not very articulate scream for help."

Thiel said that Trump had called him earlier this year looking for $10 million, but Thiel turned him down. He says he heard that Trump later called him a “f---ing scumbag.”
