JD Vance’s investments reveal contradictions
between the political persona he has sought to project,
his history as a venture capitalist and Peter Thiel acolyte,
and his status as a hard-edged tribune of the so-called “new right”.Companies he has invested in include a firm that carries out medical testing of therapies that may include #stem #cells in scientific research
to tech firms with records of #harvesting #data.Vance and some of the people behind the various firms he is involved with also exhibit an #obsession with references to the mythology around The Lord of the Rings’ #fantasy #world.
The revelations come in part from an analysis of his financial disclosures to the Senate ethics committee since 2022,
first as a Senate candidate and then as a junior senator for Ohio.
The Guardian’s reporting also drew on other public records and open source materials.The most recent disclosure, which covers until the end of 2022,
also showcases the peculiar preoccupations that Vance as an investor shared with a
Thiel-adjacent network of rightwing Silicon Valley venture capitalists
who later spent millions supporting Vance’s candidacy to the Senate in 2022.Joe Lowndes, a political science professor at Hunter College and the author of several books on the American political right, said:
“Vance has been a chameleon his whole life
– that’s how he described himself in his autobiography.
“He has no core, and seems to have been influenced by a series of strong personalities, from Amy #Chua, to Peter #Thiel, to #Trump.” -
