Prominent tech investor Peter Thiel has publicly accused Pope Leo XIV of working for Chinese Communists. The accusation was reportedly made during an event held in Aspen.
Thiel's criticism specifically targets the Pope's position on artificial intelligence regulation. Reports indicate Thiel views the Pope's stance as aligning with Chinese interests amid an intensifying U.S.-China tech rivalry.
This marks another instance of Thiel expressing public disagreement with the Vatican. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
