Report: Former Xbox president Sarah Bond and Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick linked to Peter Thiel’s secret society
A report has linked three prominent gaming industry figures to ‘Dialog,’ an exclusive invitation-only society founded by billionaire entrepreneur and conservative political activist Peter Thiel. The individuals connected to the group are former Xbox president Sarah Bond, former Roblox chief product officer Manuel Bronstein, and Take-Two president and CEO Strauss Zelnick.
Thiel, a controversial German-American entrepreneur, co-founded the fintech company PayPal and the defense, AI, and software firm Palantir. He has maintained a significant presence in both the technology sector and political spheres. Notably, Thiel was among Facebook’s earliest investors and served as an advisor to former U.S. President Donald Trump during his initial election campaign. More recently, he has bankrolled Republican candidates in preparation for the 2026 mid-term elections and has hosted a series of off-the-record lectures on various topics.
The connection of these three high-profile gaming industry executives to Thiel’s private society has drawn media attention. However, detailed information about the nature, scope, and level of involvement of Bond, Bronstein, and Zelnick in the group remains unclear from available reports. The development highlights the intersection between gaming industry leadership and broader political and business networks.
