Thiel Says Housing Crisis Pushes Millennials Toward Socialism

  • Peter Thiel's 2020 private email resurfaced and went viral after Zohran Mamdani's mayoral victory, with Chamath Palihapitiya posting a screenshot on X on November 5, 2025, and Business Insider verifying it.
  • Peter Thiel wrote in January 2020 that too much student debt and unaffordable housing leave Millennials with negative capital, noting 70% identify as pro-socialist in a message to Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO, and Marc Andreessen, venture capitalist.
  • Thiel told the Free Press Friday that strict zoning and construction limits have benefited boomers while making homebuying extremely hard for millennials, warning this could push young people toward extremist ideologies.
  • Polling expert Frank Luntz called the off-year results a 'wake-up call' as an August Gallup poll found 49% adults 18 to 34 held a positive view of socialism.
  • Thiel, often described as a libertarian who supported President Donald Trump, urged Mark Zuckerberg and tech leadership to address young Americans' growing disconnection, saying he would be the last to advocate socialism.
