    I think he leaves that kind of plagiarism to his old friend Peter Thiel, who seems to have an obsession with Lord of the Rings villains.

      What do you mean by “villains”?

      The only Tolkien inspired names I could find are Arda, Palantir, Valar, Mithril, Rivendell, and Lembas, none of which are names of villains.

      Two Palantiri have been used by villains but that’s about it.

        Fair correction, Palantir is only used by villains, it isn’t evil in and of itself. However I’m pretty sure Thiel also had something called The Eye of Sauron - maybe a product made by Palantir.
