It will be more like Palantir and Anduril also weighing in.
Palantir (which Thiel co-founded and still chairs) has a significant financial and personnel relationship with Jeffries and his DCCC:
Jeffries received about $25,000 from Palantir executives, plus $44,300 from Palantir manager Mehdi Alhassani to his victory fund, and roughly $22,000 more from Palantir executives for his 2026 campaign.
Palantir’s lobbying firms funneled at least $3.8 million to the DCCC last year, and $2.9 million in January 2025 alone.
Palantir hired Jeffries’ former chief of staff Cedric Grant as a lobbyist in May 2026, along with Steve Elmendorf, a top DCCC fundraiser who hosted events featuring Jeffries.

I hope it’s not “whoever elon buys”.

Spoiler: it will be “whoever Wall St buys”. Elon may or may not decide to buy a few shares in the Dem candidate this cycle.
