Billionaires don't live in nations. They don't know what it means to actually live somewhere, their mental state is so warped. The whole world is their playground.
He's spouting propaganda, plain and simple.

Well I for one hope he hurries the fuck up.
Basically because he thinks he can't totally fuck up this country any more, he want to storm off in a huff and fuck up a different country? Okay then.
This isn’t an airport. You don’t need to let us know you’re taking off.
Good
Don't come to Europe, asshat
Yeah. Ok. Fuckity bye.
Thank god
GET THE FUCK OUT
Good. And stay away from politics too.
K
Where the fuck is he going to go that's progressive enough to not be hostile to his homosexuality but conservative enough not to tax his ungodly hoard. The u.s. is as good as it gets for people like him.
New Zealand is my guess
I think he’d still get taxed. Specifically, I don’t think he could be a NZ citizen. So, the billionaire hating liberals that run America (which is totally real and not made up /s) would still get him.
"He was controversially granted New Zealand citizenship in 2011 after the Fifth National Government intervened on his behalf."
Well, shit. I guess I shouldn’t have assumed he’d be held to normal standards.
The homosexuality part is a poor person problem. You can be rich and gay anywhere.

B-tch go fly to your evil lair in New Zealand already . That one ex of yours who mysteriously died, everyone forgot already
Peter Thiel, the tech billionaire who served as the sugar daddy for GOP vice presidential hopeful JD Vance’s Senate run, who helped kill Gawker, and who names his companies after bits of JRR Tolkein lore, said he's considered leaving the US.
Thiel appeared on a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience and told the comic-turned-podcaster that he had recently moved from San Francisco to LA, and was also considering leaving California or the country altogether.
So a nothing burger? Fucking baby billionaire psychopath is going to leave the US because the fascist dictator won't be elected?
The funny thing is he isn't going to leave, it's just because he wanted to get a buzz out of it. To magahats this is a clear sign the government is "weak" and hates successful people.
Please do, weirdo. I would imagine you’re not going to find anywhere else as hospitable to your beliefs.
He can leave to some tiny inhabitated island, and stop bothering the rest of us.
He can leave for Russia. I hear they have great real estate. Big windows. To fall for.
Who are they kidding? These shit bags travel by private jet shitting on the rest of the world probably 60% of the time anyways. Like it matters where they “reside”. Just die or get guillotined already.
Fucking bye
OHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOO.
This shitbag will sell whatever IP he has to whichever country gives him a small amount of real power over people. $100 he goes to Russia or China.
Not china, they prosecute billionaire for tax evasion and their profile must be lower than Xi else he will get jealous.
Nope. I vote no unless he agrees to take his whack-job buddy, Curtis Yarvin, and his biodiesel made from poor people, with him. I would demand he take Vance with him, but I suppose he'll insist on keeping his puppet here.
Yeeeeesh..

CA is one of the world’s top economies. Fucking leave.
We will all be happy to see him go. Hopefully down. In a ball of fire.
