Peter Thiel lands in San Jose the day Dialog club leaks surface

Peter Thiel flew from Los Angeles International Airport to Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport on June 22, 2026, a 53-minute hop aboard his Gulfstream V, N878DB. The aircraft, registered through Thorondor LLC and parked in Colorado since late 2024, has been active again since May, primarily shuttling Thiel between LA and the Bay Area.

The same day, leaked records of Thiel's secretive club, Dialog, were published by Wired and widely covered by outlets including AOL News. The documents exposed membership lists and an agenda for an August retreat at Powerscourt Estate in County Wicklow, Ireland, featuring sessions titled "Navigating WWIII" and "Build-a-Cult." The timing suggests Thiel may be meeting with Silicon Valley members or advisors to address the fallout from the leak, which has drawn condemnation from Irish politicians and a statement from Powerscourt Estate that it would cancel the event if it could.

The flight continues a pattern of increased Bay Area visits this month: Thiel flew from Eugene to San Francisco on June 21, and from Los Angeles to San Jose on June 22, per flight data. With Palantir's headquarters in Palo Alto and Founders Fund in San Francisco, the trip likely involves boardroom conversations about the Dialog controversy, even as Thiel reportedly splits time between Los Angeles and a new mansion in Buenos Aires.
