      I’ve speculated (and I don’t believe I’m alone) that the reason Peter Theil was so supportive of Elon Musk is that he either really wanted to fuck him or did.

        Nah, they’re just people who made a pile of money together. Theil was one of the people who stopped Elon from trying to turn PayPal into a complete financial services solution, and instead just focus on paying for eBay purchases. They all take a big payday because of it, but Elon was still upset he wasn’t allowed to “disrupt” the banking industry.
