Well you have no evidence so in fact, it's 100% conspiracy theory thinking.

Peter Thiel is an investor in Polymarket, he didn't "hire" Nate Silver as an advisor, the founders of Polymarket did, and they probably see it as good business to make money. Do you have any evidence that Nate Silver makes more or less money on his predictions?

You still haven't explained why Nate Silver would agree to be manipulated.
