   Billionaire venture capitalist, PayPal cofounder and major MAGA
   Republican donor [2]Peter Thiel is seeking citizenship in the
   Mediterranean island nation of Malta, according to a New York
   Times report, although his intentions behind the citizenship are not
   yet clear.
   Although a Malta citizenship would not provide Thiel with a
   significant [3]tax benefit, the New York Times reported, it could
   provide him a multi-million-dollar compound and an escape from the
   U.S.—he has expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the direction the
   country is headed, increasingly funneling his multibillion-dollar net
   worth into pro-MAGA candidates.
   Thiel, a self-described conservative libertarian who co-founded
   Palantir Technologies and PayPal and served on Facebook’s board of
   directors until February, has [4]poured roughly $30 million into GOP
   campaigns ahead of the November midterm elections, Politico reported.
   Candidates he’s funded include fellow venture capitalists Blake
   Masters, who is running for a seat in Arizona, and J.D. Vance, in
   Ohio—both were endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
