Lonsdale ist ja mit 8VC bei Stark Defence eingestiegen. Das wäre der vierte - allerdings sehr indirekte - Einfluss von Thiel bei Stark. Thiel war ja Lonsdales Mentor.

Und Founders Fund gehört ja auch zum Thiel Imperium.
Der vierte Arm wäre sehr indirekt: Investments von 8VC, der Gruppe von Joe Londsdale, dessen "Mentor" Peter Thiel war.

Das müsste sich nochmal jemand anschauen mit mehr Power, also einem Medienhaus, Stiftung oder einer Partei im Rücken.

5/ Post by “Doctronic” co-founder Matt Pavelle implying that Finn Kennedy’s white paper deserves credit for a bunch of new AI-related govt initiatives. I wonder if 8VC or Finn’s new VC fund back any of the AI companies that will be chosen to implement these initiatives.

4/ More details about Finn Kennedy. www.newser.com/story/387990...
A son of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is rolling out a $100 million investment fund that explicitly leans on his father's Make America Healthy Again agenda. Finn Kennedy's Victura Ventures-named after John F. Kennedy's sailboat-aims to back early-stage companies in health care Al, consumer health, and related technologies, according to an offering document reviewed by the Financial Times. The fund, which already has about $70 million in commitments, pitches itself as poised to benefit from a "rare convergence" in health care and from policy shifts and initiatives tied to RFK Jr.'s MAHA movement. The effort fits into a broader pattern of Trump administration allies and relatives pursuing business lines aligned with government priorities, including cryptocurrency ventures and companies that later won federal contracts. In a statement, Finn Kennedy said the fund was shaped by his own chronic pain and a desire to back founders "building better healthcare." He previously worked at Austin-based venture firm 8VC, and his direct health-sector experience is unclear. Finn Kennedy also is a board member of MAHA Holdings, which has released little information about itself. The Health and Human Services Department said Kennedy complies with all ethics and confidentiality requirements and regularly consults department lawyers.
