According to The Guardian, internal documents of Dialog, an invitation-only club co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel in 2006, leaked on June 15, exposing hundreds of associated members including Elon Musk and Trump-linked officials. The leaked records reveal plans for an upcoming luxury retreat near Dublin in August, with discussion topics spanning artificial intelligence, nuclear power, and World War 3. The leak also shows the group rates attendees by influence and uses matchmaking systems to determine seating and social pairings.
Some named figures have distanced themselves from the organization. Colorado Governor Jared Polis' spokesperson denied membership, while New Jersey Senator Cory Booker's office stated he is not involved. However, critics warn the secrecy surrounding such gatherings poses risks to democratic processes, with power expert Janine Wedel describing them as forums where "financial, tech and political power" shape agendas beyond public scrutiny.
