ICYMI: Facebook Board Member Drops Another $1.5 Million for Masters as his Campaign Feels Cash Pinch

New report reveals Masters’ Big Tech Billionaire Benefactor is once again bailing out Masters’ flailing campaign, increasing his donation to $15 million 

 

(Arizona) – A new Politico report reveals Blake Masters Big Tech Billionaire Benefactor, Peter Thiel, dropped another $1.5 million into a pro-Masters Super PAC as Masters’ campaign is feeling a cash pinch. This brings Thiel’s investment in Masters’ Senate ambitions to $15 million. 

Jim Lamon remains the only candidate for Senate who isn’t beholden to anyone but the people of Arizona. He’s agreed to a 2-term limit, will not trade stocks while in the Senate, won’t take a salary or pension, and will not accept a single lobbyist or PAC dollar.

On the other hand, special interest groups Saving Arizona, Crypto Freedom PAC, and the swampy Club for Growth have already spent $20 million to elect their puppet, Fake Blake Masters.

Billionaire Peter Thiel’s support for Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters has now grown to $15 million as the venture capitalist and tech entrepreneur continued this month to pour money into the race to boost Masters’ cash-strapped campaign.



Masters has relied heavily on support from Thiel, his friend and longtime employer. 

Masters’ close ties to Thiel and California Big Tech have raised ethical questions about where his loyalty would lie if elected. Masters has already used his campaign platform to boost surveillance technology financially linked to his benefactor Peter Thiel, why should Arizona voters expect that corruption to end in Washington?

What [Masters] showed but didn’t mention in the campaign commercial is part of Masters’ rapid political rise: his ties to billionaire technology investor Peter Thiel.

The ad includes footage of a security system as Masters calls to revamp border security. The system appears to come from Anduril Industries, a company Thiel has invested in with hundreds of millions in government contracts.

Arizona voters have also voiced significant doubts about the motivations behind Masters’ Senate run.

[The voter] added that Lamon's broadsides against Thiel and his connection to Facebook were an "eye opener" that had convinced her to not support Masters.
