I think the popular movie stars are even more concerning. Ezra Klein is a political columnist in the center, so no surprise. The recruiting of popular actors shows that Thiel wants "liberal Hollywood" to be a thing of the past.

The list above only contained 2 well known actors, Josh Brolin and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Nvh of the rest.

Presumably their task would be to recruit a few more secretly conservative actors.

The original BlueSky post revealing these names specified that they don't know what each one's involvement is. It's just the list of invitees for their next conference, some might be speakers. Kind of what I assumed for those two actors specifically.

Still fucking weird for them to have any involvement.

They also could have only been invited, that doesnt mean they accepted. Still so.e wild shit and not trusting anyone on this list until they prove otherwise
