@garius Excellent thread, but had the unintended side-effect of making me hate Thiel just a tiny bit less. I worked for 2(!) CEOs who wouldn't take the money sitting right in front of them because it would "interfere with The Big Play".

@hankg @garius Thiel's never getting back to "even".

And the fact that Thiel had to sit in the passenger seat while Elmo tried to kill both of them is some small consolation. It's like hearing that the caterer at a Trump event didn't get paid. Dogs, fleas, lying down ... that whole thing.
