The cities state idea is more of a Curtis Yarvin thing, but he has the backing of Thiel.
Thiel is pushing whatever thing allows the existence of a libertarian state a la Bioshock. In his essay “Education of a Libertarian “ he talks about a few things that could usher such a state like the internet, space colonies or sea standing. So far he has funded two companies that could allow such a state to form. He was one of the first to fund SpaceX (Mars), and he funded a project of Yarvin that I don’t really understand but it’s something about cyber city states or some shit like that, it’s super obscure.
