2024年8月11日周日 美国大选AI日志 第二十八篇
距离投票日86天
彼得·蒂尔风险投资家
1967年出生，他是万斯的导师、前老板、知识和精神顾问、朋友和主要捐助者。两人于 2011 年相识，当时万斯还是耶鲁法学院的学生，万斯后来在蒂尔的风险投资公司 Mithril Capital 工作，之后在蒂尔的支持下成立了自己的公司。（和蒂尔一样，万斯的风险投资公司的名字也来自《指环王》）。蒂尔随后在 2022 年竞选期间向万斯的超级政治行动委员会捐赠了 1500 万美元，成为竞选活动的最大支持者。
蒂尔在思想上也对万斯产生了重大影响：他对基督教的信奉在万斯 2019 年决定皈依天主教的过程中发挥了重要作用，而蒂尔的反动技术自由主义仍然是万斯自身政治观点的试金石。
对于中国：中国在技术和经济领域的崛起持批评态度，认为中国对美国构成了重大竞争威胁。他还批评了一些美国科技公司与中国的合作，认为这些合作可能危及美国的国家安全。Thiel主张美国采取更强硬的对华政策，以维护自身利益。
Thiel is a significant intellectual influence on Vance as well: His embrace of Christianity played a major role in Vance’s decision to convert to Catholicism in 2019, and Thiel’s reactionary techno-libertarianism remains a touchstone of Vance’s own political outlook.
A core member of the “PayPal mafia,” the conservative entrepreneur and podcaster rose to prominence on the right railing against “wokeness” and criticizing neoconservative foreign policy on his popular podcast, “All In.” He hopped on the Vance train in 2022 with a $1 million dollar donation to his allied super PAC, and since then, he has become an outspoken supporter of Vance and a key financial backer for Trump. In June, Sacks held a $300,000-a-head fundraising dinner for Trump at his San Francisco mansion, which Vance attended and helped organize, and along with Thiel and Tucker Carlson, he reportedly personally lobbied Trump to pick Vance. Vance has called him “one of my closest confidants” and helped introduce him to Donald Trump.
对于中国： 与中国的商业关系相当复杂且重要。作为特斯拉（Tesla）和SpaceX的创始人，Musk在中国有着广泛的业务联系。中国是特斯拉最大的市场之一，特斯拉在上海拥有一家大型工厂，这使Musk与中国政府和市场保持密切合作。同时，Musk也公开表达了对中国技术发展的赞赏，但在涉及言论自由和人权问题时，他的通常保持回避。
Elon Musk
Entreprenuer
Musk was a relative latecomer to Vance’s Silicon Valley fan club, but he rallied around Vance in the days before the RNC, reportedly urging Trump in private conversations to pick Vance. Since then, Vance has praised Musk as “a throwback to an older generation of American entrepreneurs [who] builds real things.” Musk has endorsed Trump and reportedly said that he intends to donate $45 million per month to the Trump-Vance campaign until November, though he later denied that figure.
1976年出生，是 Facebook 的一名早期高管，后来成为风险投资家，创立了Social Capital。他目前与著名的万斯支持者戴维·萨克斯共同主持一档热门播客，并帮助萨克斯和万斯在 6 月份组织了一场大型硅谷筹款活动。他是支持万斯担任副总统的核心硅谷团队的一员，在万斯当选后，他称万斯是“一个非凡的选择”。
Chamath Palihapitiya
Venture Capitalist
An early Facebook executive turned venture capitalist, Palihapitiya now co-hosts a popular podcast with prominent Vance backer David Sacks and helped Sacks and Vance organize a major Silicon Valley fundraiser in June. He was part of the core Silicon Valley group that backed Vance for vice president, calling Vance “an exceptional pick” after he was selected.
克里斯托弗·布斯科克
克里斯托弗·布斯柯克自称是“连续创业者”，也是风险投资公司“1789 Capital”的负责人，他领导着一个支持特朗普的超级政治行动委员会，该委员会承诺在摇摆州投入 4500 万美元进行投票率宣传。在万斯进入参议院之前，他与克里斯托弗合作成立了Rockbridge Network，这是一个由富有的亲特朗普捐赠者（包括蒂尔）组成的网络，旨在支持民粹主义民族主义候选人。巴斯柯克还是在线保守派杂志《美国伟大》的出版商。
对于中国：对中国的全球影响力持批评态度，特别是在美国经济和国家安全方面。他对中国在全球供应链中的角色表示担忧，认为这影响了美国的主权。布斯柯克主张美国应对中国的崛起采取更强硬的立场，减少对中国的经济依赖。
Christopher BuskirkEntrepreneur
A self-proclaimed “serial entrepreneur” and the head of the venture capital firm “1789 Capital,” Buskirk is leading a pro-Trump super PAC that has committed to spending $45 million on a turnout campaign in swing states. Before Vance entered the Senate, he worked with Buskirk to set up the Rockbridge Network, a network of wealthy pro-Trump donors — including Thiel — to support populist-nationalist candidates. Buskirk is also the publisher of the online conservative journal American Greatness.
