I don’t. Bezos and Musk are both terrible, even if I would say Bezos is worse. For just tech it would probably be Musk? But who knows, Altman and his shenanigans are also a frontrunner for me.
I just know Thiel as an influence for major tech companies, and some of his opinions on eg monopolies. Outside of those companies I don’t know any example of political influence. Do you have some?
Old news, but this is what I’m thinking of: “By February 2022, Thiel was one of the largest donors to Republican candidates in the 2022 election campaign with more than $20.4 million in contributions. He supported 16 senatorial and congressional candidates, several of whom were proponents of the falsehood that there was significant voter fraud in the 2020 election. Two of said senatorial candidates (Blake Masters and J. D. Vance) were also tech investors who had previously worked for Thiel.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel#Political_views_and_activities
Why is this even a contest? We all know who the “winner” is going to be.

Just tech, clearly Musk. I’d argue Peter Thiel is the worst among the others for direct political influence, but that wasn’t the question.
