Why has Peter Thiel moved to Argentina?

What's this about?

The Guardian examines Thiel's relocation to Argentina under Milei — read variously as ideological alignment with the libertarian experiment, a sovereignty hedge, or both.

What exactly is the pattern?

Thiel has long funded exit-from-existing-states projects (seasteading, network states, NZ citizenship). Argentina under an anarcho-capitalist president is the first country-sized version of the experiment.

Why is this worth noting?

HN 28 points — modest thread, but the story tracks a real phenomenon: tech billionaires moving from influencing states to choosing them.
