Peter Thiel Steps Down from Facebook (Meta) board

Peter Thiel steps down from Facebook's board. During a time of turmoil, it is questionable as to why he would do this. Mainstream media is just going after him for being a previous supporter of Trump and a general conservative.
Not political but just seems like they may be missing other things to this as well.
