Peter Thiel Wants to Inject Himself with Young People's Blood(vanityfair.com) |
This is just a hit piece that's been generated because Thiel has recently been declared an Enemy of the State.
Calling it a "generated" (by that I assume you mean fabricated?) piece seems a bit hyperbolic.

You can tell that this is a generated hit piece due to Thiel's politics by the very first sentence, which begins "Trump delegate and Gawker bankrupter Peter Thiel...".
I also don't know what the "hit piece" part is supposed to be. He is a Trump delegate, he did finance Gawker's bankruptcy, he does espouse the ideals presented in the article, and he has invested in life-extension technologies. Can it be a hit piece if it's actually correct?
Both of which are totally irrelevant to the alleged topic under discussion.
“I stand against confiscatory taxes, totalitarian collectives,
and the ideology of the inevitability of the death of every
individual,” he (Thiel) wrote in libertarian journal Cato
Unbound seven years ago.
The tone of the article doesn't seem to be mocking him, so I don't think it is a hit piece. If Peter Thiel does literally believe that injecting himself with the blood of young people will extend his life then blame him for that, not the people reporting it.
