Yes, this article is a little old but I really believe it’s something we should never forget. Every single person who donated to Trump must be held accountable unless they sincerely change. Every single one of these people should be constantly reminded of all the damage they’ve done to this country and all their companies should face a complete and total boycott.

Remember: these are the people who helped inflict terror on innocent Americans and people all throughout the world. These are the people who helped cause 600,000+ people to die due to cuts to USAID. These are the people who hurt our economy and made it even more difficult to afford basic goods like groceries. These are the people who helped elect a man who made us all worry each day about what global catastrophe Trump would cause. We must never forget and we must never forgive these people and we must reform our system so large donations like this can never happen again.

    Part of why some names are missing is because this article is from August 2024. Campaign contribution data is delayed so at the time of the article being made we didn’t know about Musk’s huge contributions. Despite this I did really like the article and I saw no one has ever posted it before. What I liked is it clearly explained who each person is and how much they donated (accurate based on what was known when the article was posted)

        I think Thiel funds think tanks and far-right organizations instead of donating to campaign. That’s my guess or he donated but wasn’t as high so didn’t make the list.

        Writing this makes me realize we don’t know everyone who’s funding the far-right. Someone else mentioned crypto as well.

          He’s not in the article at all. However, a quick search found this Mother Jones article.

          This is where the delay you mentioned above comes into play:

          In 2023, Peter Thiel, the billionaire tech titan and investor, issued a proclamation: He would not make political donations in 2024 to any candidate, including Donald Trump, whom he had backed in 2016.

          Now, after sitting out the 2024 election cycle, Thiel is back in the game. He has quietly donated more than $850,000 this year to finance Republican incumbents attempting to retain their party’s control of the House in next year’s midterm elections.

          That renewed largesse comes as the stock price of Palantir, the company Thiel founded and still owns much of, soars, with the firm raking in profits from contracts awarded by the Trump administration.

          But I’m sure he contributed indirectly to the '24 campaign too. Most notably through JD Vance.
