PayPal billionaire co-founder Peter Thiel accuses Google of “treason” after the tech giant sides with Communist China over the U.S. military
The co-founder of PayPal, venture capitalist and entrepreneur Peter Thiel blasted fellow Silicon Valley giant Google during a speech at the National Conservatism conference in Washington, D.C., over the weekend for agreeing to work with Communist China and shunning technology projects involving the U.S. military.
As he opened his speech, the billionaire investor cited Google’s attempts to work out a deal with Beijing to develop a tightly-controlled search engine after letting lapse a U.S. Defense Department contract that would have given the American military access to the company’s powerful artificial intelligence tools.
Those actions, Thiel noted, were “seemingly treasonous,” while he suggested that the AI research division of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, has been “infiltrated” by Chinese spies.
During his speech, Thiel — a Facebook board member and one of the very few Silicon Valley tech entrepreneurs who support POTUS Donald Trump — said U.S. intelligence agencies should be making inquiries into Google’s China connections.
“These questions need to be asked by the FBI and the CIA,” Thiel said, “And I’d like them to be asked in a not excessively gentle manner.”
“Number one, how many foreign intelligence agencies have infiltrated your Manhattan Project for AI?” he said.
“Number two, does Google’s senior management consider itself to have been thoroughly infiltrated by Chinese intelligence?” he continued.
“Number three, is it because they consider themselves to be so thoroughly infiltrated that they have engaged in the seemingly treasonous decision to work with the Chinese military and not with the U.S. military because they are making the sort of bad, short-term rationalistic [decision] that if the technology doesn’t go out the front door, it gets stolen out the backdoor anyway?” Thiel noted further.
