Two claims, neither proven.
The Guardian reported protests against a proposed investment regime offering foreign companies a minimal tax rate and a 30-year guarantee against regulatory change, and against a decree on personal data. It said: “There is no evidence that Thiel has advocated for these laws directly.” Deputies have asked whether Palantir has undisclosed contracts with the state. [1]
The same report noted his move had been characterized as a hedge against a third world war. That is commentary, not his stated reason. The Buenos Aires Times’s analysis reported Palantir’s filings to do business in Argentina. [1][2]
What we can’t tell you. He has not explained the move publicly.
