Peter Thiel stated that Greta Thunberg and critics of artificial intelligence are "the legions of the Antichrist," warning about the dangers of limiting technological progress.

In the context of some confidential conferences, Peter Thiel argued that those who oppose technological advancement, such as Greta Thunberg, are similar to the "Luddites" of the 19th century, who opposed innovations. Thiel, known for his support of Donald Trump, stated that strict regulations on AI could lead to global totalitarianism. He criticized current financial regulations as signs of the establishment of a world government, denouncing excessive financial surveillance. These statements reflect a rise in Christian nationalism and opposition to AI regulation in Silicon Valley.
