The money isn’t much for a guy like Thiel, but it’s still an investment I’d love to know what he sees in the app. It’s that last bit that I find fascinating. Despite this all being very predictable stuff, the app has been getting a lot of attention for three reasons: 1) the ads are unintentionally hilarious, 2) it was co-founded by former Trump administration officials and Ryann McEnany, the sister of former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, is the app’s spokesperson 3) creepy Trump-loving billionaire Peter Thiel, who has been called “the most important person in Silicon Valley”, has invested $1.5m into the project. It’s a new conservative dating app that promises to let you “view profiles without pronouns” and “connect with people who aren’t offended by everything”.
The moment absolutely nobody had been waiting for has finally arrived: The Right Stuff has launched.
