The NYT reports:

For months, Peter Thiel, the right-wing tech billionaire, has warned of what he sees as an imminent threat from the Antichrist, an entity portrayed in some Christian traditions as one of Jesus’ ultimate enemies.

Mr. Thiel, an investor in artificial intelligence, says he is drawing on biblical prophesies to warn of an Antichrist who will promise safety from existential risks like nuclear war, climate change and artificial intelligence only to bring about something worse: one-world, totalitarian government.

There seem to be a lot of contenders for the antichrist these days:

  1. Donald Trump
  2. Benjamin Netanyahu
  3. The Supreme Leader of Iran
  4. Vladimir Putin
  5. Alfred E Neuman

We asked the elusive Norwegian head of the Davos-based Mysterons, Olaf Hurtigruten, for his comments:

Cowering earthlings! There is only one candidate for the antichrist and that is Elon Musk.

His plans to invade and occupy Mars will never succeed!

The pope should order a crusade on his heresy and stamp him out like the Cathars and the Gnostics!

Whooooohahahahaha!

He then turned a mushroom into a goldfish bowl with his powers of matter transference.
