— Malcolm HarrisAn enthusiast of life-extension technologies, Thiel will get full access to his Roth IRA and the tax-free billions inside it in 2032, barring any changes to the law (which he would surely fight tooth and nail).

He is playing the long game, but at a time of global upheaval, he knows he canβt afford to go too slowly.
