I brought up Peter Thiel as relates to an unregulated betting market that he’s poured money into that has legitimate concerns.

The whataboutism is bringing a PayPal — which has nothing to do with this or my point at all.
Of course it does you're saying I shouldn't trust a financial product because Peter Thiel is an investor. Peter Thiel invests in tons of business, including PayPal. Just because he's an investor doesn't by default make it untrustworthy.
I'll listen to the podcast, but if there is argument being made from it that butreses your point. You should just post it, instead gesturing vaguely to a podcast.
Also not my point. The concern here is it being used as a tool to manipulate elections. Which is entirely plausible. Especially with the offshore and sketchy figures involved. This isn’t some left wing conspiracy that you’re trying to posit it as. Just because you personally follow it and like it.Tap on a clip to paste it in the text box.
The only evidence you've offered if this not conspiracy theory is that Peter Thiel is an investor.
You don't have an explanation of how, or what would be the motive or mechanism that this would "influence election".
Much like the George Soros conspiracy theory you've just gestured towards a Boogeyman.
Make it make sense to me. He's one investor in a company, and he gets all the other investors to agree, to operating a prediction market that is politically biased in a particular direction.
This obvious arbitrage opportunity goes unnoticed by degenerate gamblers who's entire job is to sniff out inefficient markets.
And this is all so he can give Trump a boost on make website that a tiny tiny slice of electorate will ever see or hear about....
Oh a he's also compromised Nate Silver who is destroying his reputation for what a one time pay day?
This doesn't sound absurd to you?
